CAST 2013

I bet you solve problems well and often. That seems to be something that testers just do. But do you know how you do it ? Do you think others do the same or solve things better than you ?
We can only learn this from studying it, and that’s exactly what we will do here.

I will bring you some testing problems, and we will divide ourselves into groups - some will observe, some will try to solve the problems. Then we will bring it all together to see if we can learn something about how we solve problems, but there just might also be something about which problems we should solve, or even can solve. And then what ?

Prepare for some fun.

What can you risk to (re-)learn from this:
• Learning problems can be frustrating but also fun
• We might need some human skills, not just logic
• Understanding problems is pretty much the key. Sometimes we cannot see the forest for the trees -
and we need to be reminded of that pretty often.
