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…
How can we detect them? With lots of testing 😉
Do not forget that as testers we can contribute with both strategies.
Frequently asked questions
What are the strategies to address defects?
Two: preventing them or detecting them. The best option is to combine both, and as testers we can contribute to both.
How can defects be prevented and detected?
They can be prevented with reviews, peer analysis, static analysis, TDD, BDD, ATDD and unit tests in general. And they are detected with lots of testing.
