- 1. Maja Sahpaska & Martin Kostovski
- 2. “Program testing can be used to show the presence of bugs, but never to show their absence!” – Edsger W. Dijkstra
- 3. SOFTWARE QUALITY = Code Quality + Test Quality
- 4. THE AGILE TESTER ▶ Building something without testing feels wrong. ▶ Testing and tester’s role are context sensitive. ▶ Invite a tester to every meeting concerning the project.
- 7. MYTH 1 "You only need to unit test - TDD testing is sufficient" tester
- 9. MYTH 2 "You can reuse unit tests to build a regression test suite"
- 10. MYTH 3 "Developers write the tests using open-source tools, so we no longer need testers, or automation tools"
- 11. MYTH 4 "Unit tests remove the need for manual testing"
- 12. MYTH 5 "User Acceptance Testing is no longer necessary" business analyst developer tester customer scrum master project manager teamlead tester developer
- 13. MYTH 6 "Automation is a waste of time and resources"
- 14. MYTH 7 "Developers have adequate testing skills"
- 15. MYTH 8 "TDD is applicable to every project"
- 16. MYTH 9 "Developers and Testers - are like oil and water"
- 17. THE FUTURE OF SOFTWARE TESTING
- 18. SHOULD TESTERS LEARN TO CODE?
- 19. It isn’t what we don’t know that gives us trouble, it’s what we know that ain’t so.” – Will Rogers Darth Sidious
- 20. SUMMARY ▶ "Quality" is team's responsibility ▶ Pairing with Programmers ▶ Intelligent automation definitely helps
