The warm and fuzzy feeling within has grown steadily this week as I have browsed the internal wiki and come across such gems as
- there is no "tester" title within a scrum team, only a role which is responsible for driving the testing agenda
- QA is not "quality assurance" (rather "quality assistance")
- the main objective of a tester is to provide information about the product
- the tester should participate in design discussions
- all testing should be context-driven, requiring skilled testers
Fantastic!
With such an amazing framework already in place, maybe I can focus some of my free time on
1. version 1.5 of AddQ's SBTExecute - a session report parsing tool which supports the xBTM way of working and is used in our training on the subject (http://www.addq.se/utforskande-testmetodik-xbtm/
)2. progressing towards becoming an educator myself in the aforementioned training
3. prepping my talk at the annual ITQ conference on "Just Enough Testing", Oct 27
