Andy and Ian pull open the idea that "anybody can test". What's behind the perspective? What's missed?
"Testing is easy, doesn't require a special skillset" We hire testers without experience Pay gap Sub in non-testers to help, and they find bugs Scripted, repeatable tests Testing as a general word Testing vs. Checking (Bolton and Bach) "Anybody can cook" Testing to provide information Whole team ownership Specializing Generalists (AB Testing) Testing does not require a tester role What do teams value?
