From Good to Great: Enhancing Testability in Software Testing

Software testing is a crucial part of the software development lifecycle, ensuring that software meets the desired quality standards and is free from defects. However, testing can be a time-consuming and expensive process, often resulting in delays and cost overruns.

One of the key factors that can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of testing is testability - the degree to which software can be easily tested and evaluated. This is a critical yet often the most ignored and undiscussed aspect of software development. Most testers don’t even know or talk about this. Testability is a key and essential component for good testing. It also boosts your testing process and helps you test complex products in an easy and simple manner. Therefore it is very important for testers to have that understanding of it.

In this session, I will share my personal experience of how I approached it and how it has helped me in having those conversations with my developers, and how we, as a team, collectively worked on it and delivered a good product. After my session, I hope you all would go back and start discussing and implementing testability with your team.
