Looks like a lesson from testing?

No chicken, No eggs

We had great testers with us

Passion + Vision demands SacrificeOur testers wanted to feed the company first

Love from the outer space

CDT testers love us

Sacrifice brings responsibility on how we test

Passion adds to the coal

Part 1

How we test

We solve customers business problems

…through testing

We test for sales and competition

Consciously

We sell business value to customers

Co-incidentally, that’s what they seem to need

We don’t talk bull shit

No ROI, No Test Cases, No Pass Percentages

We genuinely help customers

We co-own their business problems /through/ testing

We can’t work with all customers

We give everybody a chance though

We test to discover blind spots

Our own blind spots, too

We test to make our customers win

Sad truth: Not everybody in this world wants to win

Enough talk, let me show you!

Seeing is believing!

We test to discover blind spots

Our own blind spot, too

Part 2

How we deal with customers who don’t value testing

We don’t deal with them

Unless there is hope

Losing customers is okay

Reason behind the loss is important

Part 3

How we hire and fire testers

Let’s give the driver’s test

Some people can drive in some locations

Let’s give a chance to mothers

They have great potential

Let’s give school drop outs a chance

They are fundoo, for obvious reasons

Let’s make it hard for people to fake

We bake (fire) the fake

We messed up, too

Paid a heavy price for it

The market sucks

It has filthy testers, thriving

We create our own!

Thanks to Mama Mia Santa Maria

Part 4

Our Academy & Start-up Test Lab

We run a baby shark training centre

We prepare them for the rough seas

Start-ups are the future

We are already there

Start-ups don’t have money

We don’t need money always

Start-ups understand testing value, faster

We know how to do it!

Part 5

How we facilitate

Culture can eat strategy for breakfast

Keith Klain said that

Our testers set trends

Commanders, Master Shifu and the Panda

We teach courage to testers

Sometimes it is used against us!

Our testers co-own this company

So much of load on us, lowered

Our testers plug holes

They don’t wait for us to find and plug them

We bring the bald eagles!

They show us our blind spots

We are social media friendly

There is good power in it (to those who know how to use)

We are okay to be ashamed!

We will do something about it, immediately, though

Our testers are like CDT community

They write blogs, argue, speak, test and are passionate

Part 6

It doesn’t need to be
