The most common Testing Entities that I've encountered over the years are:
- Test Condition
- Test Scenario
- Test Case
- Test Script
In my Testing I pretty much now have:
- Test Idea
- Test Log (Execution Log)
Is there any value in the original Testing Entities? There might be if we view them as logical concepts, but not really as physical artifacts.

In this episode of The Evil Tester Show, host Alan Richardson describes context-driven testing. Is there really such a thing as context-driven testing, or is it just a phrase we use to describe our testing approach? Alan explores the intricacies of context in testing, discussing its evolving nature, the impact of context on testing practices, and the challenges in defining it. From the origins of the term by James Bach, Brian Marick, Brett Petichord, and Cem Kaner, to Alan’s personal insights on systems within systems and how context impacts our testing methodologies, this episode provides a comprehensive look at how context affects software testing. Alan also critiques the principles of context-driven testing and emphasizes the importance of adapting to projects without being swayed by ideologies. We explore how to navigate context in testing environments, adapt our approaches, and effectively challenge and evolve systems. Discover the importance of context-driven testing in software development, exploring models, adaptability, and useful practices.…

This episode covers the Test Automation Pyramid, created by Mike Cohen in 2008-2009 in the book "Succeeding With Agile". We will go beyond the diagram and look at the model that supports it. Then deep dive into the model to explore it's meaning in relation to Automated Execution Coverage, not Testing. - The model was created by Mike Cohen in 2008-2009 in the book "Succeeding With Agile." - The original model focused on UI, service level, and unit level automation. - Over the years, different interpretations and variations of the model have emerged. - The term "service level" in the model has led to ambiguity and different interpretations. - The diagram in the model is a simplified representation of a deeper underlying model. - The focus should be on achieving coverage at the most appropriate level in the system. - The model addresses the importance of avoiding duplication and redundancy in automated coverage. - The process and team structure can impact the effectiveness of the model. - The model can be reframed as an automated execution coverage pyramid.…

Episode 017 - Manual QA is Dead - The Evil Tester Show Manual QA is dead. Companies are getting rid of their QA teams. Quality Control performed manually is phasing out of style. What can we do instead? Become coaches, assistants or advisors? We could become developers? Or we could be better testers. QA and Quality Control is not Testing. This might be how people learn.…

Recruiting Testers is hard. What we want to do is minimise the friction and barriers. In this podcast I'll share some tips on what has worked for me in the past. - remove as much ambiguity from your job spec as possible - someone like me, will read 'the worst' into your ambiguity - send clear messages, not mixed messages, in the job spec - help the applicant filter out roles that are not suitable for them - when writing a job spec, review existing job specs in the world, critique them and then build on what is best from those - start with a phone interview, never start face to face - some people bluff, some people offer general answers - your job as an interviewer is to help them answer specifically and ask for more information when you want it - Interviews as auditions, held by someone who knows how to do the activity being auditioned - audition hands on with the actual code, or the actual system - use your best people for the interviews, not just anyone that is free Show Notes: https://eviltester.com/show We have more posts in our recruitment category: - https://www.eviltester.com/categories/recruitment/ And our Career category: - https://www.eviltester.com/categories/career-advice/ This video was originally released as a Patreon exclusive video back in January 2019 - https://www.patreon.com/posts/recruitment-tips-23896867…

More and more conferences are going online. Speakers will have to adapt. In this post I outline some recommendations based on years of online video, webinar and course creation. If you only want the summary then... - Presenting online over video is different. - Practice will help. - Practice with the kit you are going to use, and perform complete practice run throughs. - Use an external microphone. - Record your practice sessions and listen back to them to make sure your audio is good enough.

Episode 10 of The Evil Tester Show I receive a lot of concerned emails and messages from testers. People concerned that their testing skills will not be enough to keep them in work and that the future revolves around automation which they don't know how to do. No programming experience. And should they learn API or UI? What programming language should they learn? People do feel that their career is at risk. And that's what I cover in this podcast to hopefully give you some tips if you do want to learn to program or code and start working on test automation, and some tips on what to do if you don't and think that software testers should not have to learn to code. There are many paths to success in testing. Show notes available at: https://eviltester.com/show…

"Why?" is an incredibly popular question. I think it has problems. I try to avoid it when I'm consulting. In this show we will examine "Why?" and under what circumstances I do use it. "Why?" is almost a default question because it can take the place of every other question. It is easy to ask. We don't even need to know what answer we want. It's also a very ambiguous question, and when we ask why there is a risk that people try to read into our motivation, and that people might take offence.
