Prevention is better than cure? Strategies to deal with defects

Due to the pandemic, it's been a long time since I created videos for the "testing around the world" section.

This weekend I went to Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay and film a new video from there. I share a brief reflection with a little theory about the two strategies to address defects. We can prevent or detect them. The best? The combination of both.

How can we prevent them? Through:

  • Revisions
  • Pairwise analysis
  • Static analysis
  • TDD, BDD, ATDD
  • Unit tests in general…

¿Cómo podemos detectarlos? Con mucho testing 😉

Do not forget that as testers we can contribute with both strategies.
