When I was a little girl there were almost always problems when I and two other friends would play together. Being just me and my bff there were no problems, but as soon as that third person came along something started going wrong. It almost always ended with our parents stepping in trying to help us resolve our world wars. I have realized this week that it is much easier playing three as an adult. And as a tester, it is great!
Me and my two colleagues have finally gotten our messy test environment back on its feet and have started running our tests on a new component. During the sprint planning we selected the charters that we needed to cover and created our test plan on the whiteboard. On Wednesday we finally got started! Aah, it was good being back in bug-hunting-territory! Feeling the rush of finding something peculiar, poking it, analyzing it. It such a thrill to find something wrong, and then nail the scenario.
Anyhow, after we covered the basic tests by running some recon-sessions we got to the more complex parts. We did a couple of sessions the three of us and it was really good. All of the sudden there were three pairs of eyes on the logs. We could discuss problems, strange behaviors and, with help of our different experiences of the system, do a more thorough testing.
So hopefully we can do as much multitesters-testing as possible the rest of the sprint, because it was a really good way testing, learning and having fun!
So until next week, happy multitester-testing! (trying to name it, but I am not really sure yet.)
