QA Not-To-Do

Here are the things I’ve been trying to avoid as a Quality Assurance (hereinafter referred to as ‘QA’), in no particular order.

  • Make an assumption without a validation.

Developers always assume no bugs in their code.

  • No curiosity.

What motivates you to figure out what happened? Money?

  • No documents.

Can you remember everything?

  • No expectations.

When you don’t know what you are going to test, what are you going to test?

  • No patience.

What can you do without patience?

  • No priority.

You would not have time for a blocking issue cause you’ve spent your time on a non-blocking.

  • No scope.

People will define the scope if you don’t.

  • Repeat yourself.

People think QA is a job requiring repeating — once found an issue, reproducing, debugging, verifying, etc.. Is there any other way to get them done?

  • Think dependently.

Multi inputs, multi outputs?
