Our dive into the Modern Testing Principles continues with a dive into principle number four: We care deeply about the quality culture of our team, and we coach, lead, and nurture the team towards a more mature quality culture.  

On to Principle number 3 (full list at moderntesting.org). We are a force for continuous improvement, helping the team adapt and optimize in order to succeed, rather than providing a safety net to catch failures. As promised in the show, there will be an AMA on Modern Testing hosted by Ministry of Test on July […]

We’re back to the MT Principle Deep-Dives (which may just be medium dives). Principle #2 says: We accelerate the team, and use models like Lean Thinking and the Theory of Constraints to help identify, prioritize and mitigate bottlenecks from the system. We talk about that – but of course, there are a few tangents we […]

We are already taking an interlude from principle deep-dives to reflect a bit on the episode 81 feedback, and for Brent and Alan to have short (but in depth) discussion on how to get started creating actionable metrics. We’ll be back to Modern Testing principles in episode 83.

It’s time to deep dive into the Modern Testing Principles with #1 – Our priority is improving the business. We also dive into some experiences and observations from Alan’s recent trip to STAR East.

It’s a mostly mailbag show, and we talk about the role of a modern testers as a role that transitions an organization to following the modern testing principles.

We talk quite a bit about testbash, Modern Testing, and give deeper answers to a few of the questions that came up in around the first public appearance of the Modern Testing Principles.

We don’t reiterate the Principles directly (see the Episode 77 show notes for that), we talk a lot about how we are adapting the principles slightly based on feedback and discussions with the three – and how much better the principles are for the effort. We also discover that both Brent and Alan love to cook. […]

We discuss, vet, and rewrite (and not for the last time), the Modern Testing Principles. These are a work in progress, but we’re happy to share the current final form. Listen to the podcast to hear these developed in real time. The customer is the only one suitable to judge and evaluate the quality of […]

More on community, a few tangents, and a few strong opinions.   Mentioned in this episode: Influencer: The New Science of Leading Change Situational Leadership – Training, etc can be found here
