#retailsmartdata use emotions to get people to buy a product. Not logic. After they buy, they will use logic to justify their purchase.

[Eric Jacobson @EricCJacobson]

#retailsmartdata ...."that's not how we do things."

[Eric Jacobson @EricCJacobson]

#retailsmartdata put your analytics experts away from your legacy employees so they are free to innovate. Otherwise they'll hear...

[Eric Jacobson @EricCJacobson]

#retailsmartdata in the near future, if you are spending significant time in a retail isle, your phone will notify a sales rep to help.

[Eric Jacobson @EricCJacobson]

#retailsmartdata ask customers their best and worst retail experience. Use that data to determine where to act.

Per question at @QASymphony #testestimation talk, @michaelbolton says don't ask why testing is taking long, ask why all of development is.

[Eric Jacobson @EricCJacobson]

@mheusser when someone asks for #testestimation, doesn't a SWAG always suffice?

[Eric Jacobson @EricCJacobson]

@mheusser channels @jbtestpilot: More T, less BS. T=testing, B=bugs, S=setup. Where we hope to spend testers' time. @QASymphony

[Eric Jacobson @EricCJacobson]

Learning about #testestimation from @mheusser in @qasymphony webinar. Nice conversational format, Matt.

[Eric Jacobson @EricCJacobson]

@neiltyson says constraints can be liberating for engineers . I think this applies to testing too.

[Eric Jacobson @EricCJacobson]

Dan McClure says we need choreographers, not PMs and Engineers. Choreographers tell people what to try then they adjust. #thoughtworksATL

[Eric Jacobson @EricCJacobson]

Dan McClure says Don't ask what you did today. Ask what business value you produced. #thoughtworksATL #Businessagility

[Eric Jacobson @EricCJacobson]

Anyone using Thread Based Test Management to report weekly test activities? I have questions.

[Eric Jacobson @EricCJacobson]

I knew there was something I hated about "Verify that..." https://t.co/j6X1aTj8vH

[Michael Bolton @developsense.bsky.social @michaelbolton]

"Verify that..." in #testing essentially means "show that the product CAN work, once". Wouldn't it be a better idea to *test* the product?

[Eric Jacobson @EricCJacobson]

@jbtestpilot, I saw a nice TBTM visual model years ago, with knot and scissor icons, can't find it now. We're learning/tweaking as we go.
