Creativity, Imagination, and Creating Better Test Ideas
Limited Capacity seats available

Have you ever seen a bug that was found by a customer and thought: “Really?”,  “Why would they have done THAT?” or “Why didn’t I think of that?” 


It’s possible that you missed testing for that scenario not because of a lack of time or resources but instead because you lacked the creativity to imagine the substantially different ways your customers might try – or will try - to use your product(s).


In this workshop, Paul will show ways to improve your creativity and imagination. Based on years of experience and multiple various workshops and exercises, Paul has created some approaches and ideas on how to identify new and creative test ideas. There will be hands-on exercises to demonstrate the effectiveness of avoiding reading the detailed specifications (at least initially), of brainstorming, and of using past “test escapes” to prevent future issues.
