MoT Berlin #33 - RiskStorming with Beren van Daele

We are super happy to welcome Beren again to our meetup! The first RiskStorming workshop was our meetup number 5 in 2018.

RiskStorming - Curated by Beren Van Daele

The RiskStorming session format is a wonderful way of generating a visible Test Strategy as a team that focuses your strategy to answer the following questions:

• What is important to our product?
• What risks could impact these important aspects?
• What can we do, as a team, to make sure they don't happen?

Instructions:

• Understand the product under test well enough
• Phase 1: Go through the 25 Quality Aspect TestsSphere cards and pick the 6 most important ones
• Phase 2: Add 2-3 risks per chosen TestSphere card
• Phase 3: Go through the other TestSphere cards and match risk mitigating activities for each Risk

Wrap-up:
By the end of the activity you’ll have a much better understanding of what quality actually means for your product or epic as well as what could potentially harm it. Not just you, but everyone on the team understands how they can prepare, defend and explore against risks which could severely impact the project. Quality becomes clear to everyone and everyone’s responsibility.

Key Takeaways:

• You will work as a team to discuss and define Quality;
• You will generate highly important risks.
• You will use TestSphere as a tool to uncover unknown-unknowns and strengthen your strategy.
