Blow Your Mind! Creating mindmaps for test reporting - MoTATL June 2017 Meetup

Topic: Blow your Mind!

Abstract:

Testers use mindmaps in various ways to enhance testing activities. Claire Moss elaborates on several examples and shows us a toolsmith view of automation to create mindmaps for test reporting.

and then join us to try it out yourself!

Manual reporting can be a time suck. Friends don't let friends spend their valuable time creating custom reports. After nailing down the automation opportunities, my customer and I collaborated on cutting down her reporting burden from hours to under a minute! The story of how even beginner Javascript programmers can have a big impact will blow your mind!

When a friend and client reached out to me about a laborious manual reporting process, I was excited to hear about her real-world need for automation help! While the client had iterated on her work tasks, reporting on them was taking too long. We began to brainstorm ways to automate her manual reporting processes to improve her flow at work.

This automation project reduced the client's reporting burden from hours to under a minute. Join me for the story of how we identified automation opportunities and broke them down into bite sized pieces for real-world impact in a short timebox. Even beginner Javascript programmers can change the world!
