On to Principle number 3 (full list at moderntesting.org).

AB Testing – Episode 83: Accelerating the Team Jun 05, 2018

Show notes

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 hope you enjoy.

Finally – apologies to everyone who had their AB Testing RSS feed reset over the weekend. We moved the web host for angryweasel.com (notice that the site now has a valid RSS cert), and the RSS reset was an unexpected casualty of the move.

AB Testing – Episode 78: Digging in on Modern Testing Principles Mar 12, 2018

Show notes

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. Or at least they both finally realize that each other likes to cook.

AB Testing – Episode 77: The Conception of the Modern Testing Principles Mar 05, 2018

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 our software
We apply the theory of constraints to identify, prioritize and mitigate bottlenecks from the system (and accelerate the team).
We are not the safety net for software correctness – we focus on improving the business, and not the code.
We are responsible for the quality culture of our team, and are accountable for helping and coaching the team in this regard.
We use data to deeply understand customer usage and customer pain.
Embrace continuous improvement, and help the team adapt and optimize in order to solve customer pain
