ALT Quote from Julia Pottinger: If you take your role and see how you can be an advocate for quality, writing unit tests, proper acceptance criteria and seeking feedback early on, then you make a greater impact.
ALT Quote from Erika Chestnut: you can’t have truly impactful testing without the HUMAN.
ALT Quote from Angie Jones: Sometimes you need to be clear over clever.
ALT Quote from Nicola Lindgren: It’s not enough to test against the written requirements. Don’t you think that’s what the developers are already coding against? What about the gaps? The room for interpretation?
ALT Quote from Johanna Rothman: We are responsible for our own career. No one else. Not your team, manager, company. Choose what you will, but choose. How will you feel if you choose to leave or choose to stay?
ALT Quote from Lena Wiberg: an extremely simple metric is ‘how happy/confident are you with this release?’
ALT Quote from Dorothy Graham: If you are struggling to understand, you will not be the only one. But if you don’t ask, everyone continues thinking they are the only one.
ALT Quote from Maaret Pyhäjärvi: Listen to your software when you test. It will talk to you.
ALT Quote from Charity Majors: Everyone wins the closer they get to understanding production.
ALT Quote from Marit van Dijk: Test code is code too, and you have to maintain it just as your production code. And it is just as important.
ALT Quote from Jenna Charlton: just because it is compliant to WCAG does not mean it is usable.
ALT Quote from Anna Baik: it’s not about getting special help to reach the finish line, but a chance to line up at the start.
ALT Quote from Suman Bala: The worst thing you can do to someone, as a manager, is giving them negative feedback at time of annual performance review cycle.
ALT Quote from Prachi Dahibhate: A hard assert stops execution after fail and moves on to the next annotation. A soft assert continues execution after fail and moves on to the next statement line.
ALT Quote from Louise Harney: I can’t avoid ‘challenging’ tasks - I must learn new techniques with our toolset to help accomplish them.
ALT Quote from Diana Larsen: High value delivery leaves team members with increased capability and eager to work on the next deliverable.
ALT Quote from Anne-Marie Charrett: A quality coach focuses more on delivering outcomes, one being that a team is able to deliver quality features with minimal assistance.
ALT Quote from Kristin Jackvony: A quality strategy is a document that the whole team agrees on together. It’s like a contract that describes how quality software will be developed, tested and released by the team. Quality strategies can be as varied as snowflakes.
