Topic – How leaders can keep testers motivated?

Abstract

Anyone can do testing, but only good and motivated testers can do good testing. The mindset of a tester is different than that of anyone else in a software development team, and so are their motivating factors. There are special difficulties to confront in our undervalued field that leaders must be aware of if they want to keep the motivation of their testers high. In order to help them grow, we must take proper care.
I want to share my experiences and the lessons I and my fellow team leaders have learned during these years, to give you food for thought regarding the way you lead and take care of your testers, so they can be more motivated and do better testing.

Top Takeaways:

  • Special personality traits to consider and what to do about them
  • Importance of feedback, action and visibility perspective
