Presenting: Vivien Ibironke Ibiyemi Tools for becoming a better tester

A way of thinking that determines a tester’s behaviour, outlook and his or her mental attitude towards a PUT(Program Under Test), team members, developers and project managers If testing is questioning a product (James Bach) then we can define a tester’s mindset as a way of thinking that determines how effective a tester will be in questioning a product

Tester, Test manager, developer

If we change we’ll enhance quality better Enhance the environment we work in Succeed on our projects Love what we do. If we remain the same, our projects will fail, companies will go bankrupt etc

I’m here to help, I’m here to make you shine. I’m here to make the developer’s day. It’s my responsibility to ensure an atmosphere of common goal. My goal is to provide stakeholders with valuable information. Do everything morally right to build a good relationship with developers. Be a friend but don’t compromise your integrity

There seem to be some value in laziness and I call this ”Lazy Tester’s” mindset tool. There are bugs we might never find except we test like this. I don’t have to be lazy but switching to this mindset will get it done.

The fallacy of ”No user will use the product this way”

I never merge a code based on ’’it was just a small change, it will not break anything. I never merge a code based on how good the developer is. Let the developer I trust that they will do a good job and I’m here to uphold that trust. Though we are tight on time, please can you give me a few minutes…

Willingness to go the extra mile Become valuable, nobody jokes with valuable tester’s words. Software does not pass through my hand for fun.

A bug report that cannot be understood is a dent on the efficacy of a tester’s job.

Understanding each role’s psycology and what’s most important in time. I want to make the software : Developers I want to break the software: Testers I want to deliver a working quality software to the stakeholders : Project manager I want to sell the software: Marketing All of these must coordinate together and you need a mindset that works with understanding of the goal of each.

Who gets the blame all the time? It’s mostly the tester -I tweak my mind for documentation of issues and occurrences. -I tweak my mind in line with communication mindset tool.
