QA Therapy

Do you have difficulties knowing what to test? Do you feel that critical issues are reaching production despite your efforts? In this episode, we discuss risk-storming and taking a risk-based approach in your projects, where testing plays a key part. Today, we have Chris Armstrong, our expert QA Therapist. Chris is an active blogger and podcaster participating in TestingPeers and 9 out of 10 testers. Once you define what risk means for your company and how to classify it, you need to manage it in your daily activities. Jira and Xray can help you with risk management and risk-based testing. You can define custom fields that will hold risk information, or use a special Jira app for risk management. Take a look at our tutorials that can assist you with risk-based testing with Xray. https://hubs.li/Q01qB90T0

Do you see performance issues after going live that you weren't expecting? Do you see major performance issues appearing suddenly as soon as your product becomes more successful? In this episode, we discuss performance testing with guest Leandro Melendez, aka Sr Performo. Leandro is an active performance advocate, frequent conference speaker, and highly active in the testing community. Did you know that Xray can be used to manage performance tests? If you're using JMeter, k6, or a similar tool, for performance testing, you can define some objectives in these tools and map them to tests in Xray, as a way to track whether those goals are being met or not.

Are your development and testing team playing ping pong with issues and bugs? Are you aware of what is being tested? Do you lack confidence about releasing?
