Provider: International Institute for Software Testing (IIST)

Sometimes we allow ourselves to drown in work… Mary Thorn hears it all the time: testers complaining at retrospectives to their teams that they do not have enough time to test everything.

Mary often sees testers work overtime the last week of a sprint to ensure the definition of done is accomplished.

1. Why do they do this?
2. Why do we, as testers, enable the bad behaviors of “Scrummerfall” or a lack of whole-team ownership of quality?

Mary aims to arm testers with techniques that allow them to test smarter, not harder, and enable the testers and the team to have better conversations that make it clear what they are testing in the sprint.

Most importantly, she wants you to come out of her session being able to answer the question, “What are you not going to test this sprint?”

Take home some approaches that allow you to swim, not sink, by focusing your own and your team’s efforts.
