At the line meeting with the test manager and the rest of the test group stop and consider…
Is the focus different on issues than that the project[s] think are important? Is the focus on getting better as a test group or is it clouded by other issues, what are these in that case? How many in the test group have been degraded down to a tester and are now stuck there, as they see it? Do the internal conflicts in the test group outgrow the external conflicts? Do you feel that the cooperation and collaboration is good within the line?
When you are testing, stop and consider…
Are there any bugs you ignore and choose not to report? Are there any areas that you know bugs won‟t get fixed in that you choose to avoid? Are there any areas that you have to little knowledge about that you choose to avoid?
Before you are about to submit your bug report, stop and consider…
Have you considered how many stake holders will look at this and how much time they will spend reviewing it? Do you ignore that fact? Do you think the developer will be able to fix the bug with all information that you have provided? Do you spend minimal amount of time possible on writing the report? Do you care for and take pride in the bug report? Do your bug reports usually get fixed or are they returned because of lack of information?
Before you send your status report about testing, stop and consider…
Have you provided truthful information, as you see it, that you think will be valuable to the reader? Have you emphasized any area that you personally just want to get more focus? Have you emphasized any risk that is not that risky? Do you think stakeholders would be able to make good decisions based on the information you have provided?
