2006-Jun-22 - Payback |
The developers invited QA downstairs this afternoon to see if we had finished reviewing their specs and were they allowed to start coding now.
Cool
Progress
We've had specs to look at, give feedback to and got ideas on how we're going to test what the programmers produce now that we've given them permission to start hitting the keyboards.
But they had to try and turn the tables and asked to see OUR test plans so THEY could review them
Damned impertinence, who do they think they are ?
We've already got plenty of ideas, just need to tidy them up and present them to the developers next week and I'll blog on their reaction.
But signs of progress, slowly ( very ) we seem to be taking some steps in the right direction

Yeah, those pesky developers. How dare they ask to see the Test Plans. Actually that is a good thing because that shows they are getting involved with the testing group. Be ready for critcism, and some of it off the cuff because some of the developers saw your request for review/approval as stepping on their toes.
Keep it all in perspective and work with them on what they see as shortcomings or areas that need clarification. Working together now will save you a lot of headaches later on. Collaboration now leads to trust and reasonable compromise later on when it is needed. You're starting to turn the corner and build a good team. |
