Test Like a Developer, Develop Like a Tester

Developers and testers seem to be pulling against each other sometimes and yet, both try to reach the same goal—great software. Their focus is on different parts of the development process, but there are actually quite a few things they can learn from each other! Filip will shed some light into how developers can apply a testing mindset in order to write better code and what can testers learn from developers to enhance their process. He will cover why it’s important that testers get a basic understanding of the app they are testing and why developers should care about flakiness. Learn reasons why testers should treat their test automation code as developers do their and why developers should focus on users. Explore the DRY principle and why testers need to care about it as well as why it’s important that developers make their product testable. Finally, Filip will share why it’s important that testers and developers share their knowledge with one another. At the end of this talk, you will come away with ways to build more empathy and collaborate better to deliver A-class software.
