Weekly Fun Relax on FR : QABurger



What are differences between professional and matured QA and so-called QA as some organizations like to use this term but don't follow proper pracices? The answer is simple - they differ like different fast food and restaraunt meal cooked by skilled cooker.

So to cook QABurger, you need to mix:
- developers response for testing - so they combine development and testing;
- practice Ad-hoc testing only without Test plans and schedules;
- gather all issues and defects somewhere in any format - just write something to revisit one day;
- don't prioritize and plan fixes and new features - let's to begin from easy task, then go down by fix/implementation complexity;
- use very simple and clear metric of you quality attribute like number of defects - that's enough to make some judgements and to define scope of works;
- simplify all processes - chaos is a pat of creativity;
- deploy new features and fixes on production as soon as you can after checking on development machine - more frequent commits simplify and accelerate work
- give your system for testing for potential Users - testing engineers will yield the same result but for money
