Atomic Talk Title: Test Repeatability

I have been involved in Software testing since 1980s and we have done tons of testing as part for software development efforts. Throughout my career, People are always wondering what makes a test great and the answer is often its repeatability. While repeatability or sameness of tests is important in few cases, In this talk I will talk about how variability trumps repeatability of test cases.

Takeaways:

  1. Purposeful Testing is more important than Testing on time, on quality or on budget.
  2. Sameness is not the only reason why we want to do regression testing
  3. Sameness of tests is important but will not uncover new problems
  4. Variability like changing navigation, conditions, order of operations helps find new problems
