I will be drawing parallels between the field of architecture/ civil engineering and software testing. When we build something we attempt to build the best we can. However best is relative. We always find users attempting to use or use our products a different way. How can understand our users better ? A popular concept in architecture is “desired paths” and when applied to the field of testing / software development it can really empower the teams and testers to build better and improved experiences and software design.
