Jasmin Mayfield talking about why products fail #NZTestingConf22

Does the identified customer need really exist?

Has the need got lost in the product noise?

[Craig McKirdy @craigmckirdy]

Interesting that questions so far for #NZTestingConf22 Panel Discussion have been around contracting v permanent employment. Indicative of high fluidity in the market at the moment.

Olga Baranovskaya on #NZTestingConf22 stage now talking about Incredible Simplicity of Automation.

The incredible bit I believe but not sure about simplicity 🙂

Shout-out to @MossNye Hallway Conversations talk:
To provide context to your testing take notes then organise under headings - highlights, warnings, questions & problems.

[Craig McKirdy @craigmckirdy]

@jpie #NZTestingConf22
Cooking up a great tester:
- Data by itself is meaningless. Context is critical.
- Know your stakeholders. What is quality to them?
- Widen your horizon beyond testing events.
- Seek out organizational bugs

Testing the thing right or testing the right thing.
To ensure we are testing the right thing:
User research. Is the identified customer need real?
How is our product performing?
Customer research. How can we make their lives easier?
