This document discusses pairing and sharing as techniques for software testing and development. It argues that pairing with an expert provides different benefits than pairing with someone at the same skill level. When pairs work side-by-side on shared tasks, they can learn from differences in each other's approaches. Pairing requires an openness to new ideas and a growth mindset toward challenges. The document outlines strategies for effective pairing and overcoming resistance to pairing from those accustomed to individual work.

- Pair programming is a core agile technical practice. Many people still have reluctance to pair, pair only with people they choose, only on specific types of tasks or only in case of emergency. I am one of those reluctant people pairing selectively. This talk is about deliberate practice in building up the skill of pairing to allow pairing to take one’s skills on other activities to a new level. In this session, you will learn about my different stages of pairing and lessons picked up as a testing specialist. The talk goes through a growth patterns from pairing with peers (other testers) to pairing and mobbing with developers, from traditional style and side-by-side work to strong-style pairing and to pairing on both testing and programming activities. Join me on my journey to realize that explaining isn’t the same as experiencing. Pairing is sharing on a different level, but to make the ride smooth, there’s skills to develop and styles to consider.
- “there’s a process of knowing” – learning Does not give as regression; serendipity (safety against things happening randomly) / unwanted serendipity events. This is what it is and what it could be. There’s a direction to it, not just statement of what it is. Coaching is not just feedback, it’s pointing them to the right way. Safety. EXPERIENCE (the verb) rather than facts ; emotions over facts. REACTIONS. HISTORY, Lessons learned, checklists. Modeling. UNDERSTANDING – where you start (knowing the thing (code & environment), knowing the user, knowing the problems, knowing the developers (how to help them and what they do so that you can efficiently test), knowing the hackers (weird use cases outside common ‘have you tried reading it upside down’) , knowing all stakeholders, knowing the business priorities) Uncovering things I cannot know, giving the application a change to reveal information for me. This allows you to know things.
