Head of Testing & Test Coach, Poppulo @robmeaney My Example
Mapping Shame
@robmeaney Who’s the smug git on the right? @robmeaney Image
of kids removed!
@robmeaney @robmeaney What the hell was the developer thinking when
they coded this? @robmeaney
@robmeaney @robmeaney The quality of our product is determined by
the quality of our conversations
BDD != Cucumber BDD != Automated tests BDD != Gherkin
@robmeaney
“BDD uses examples to illustrate behaviour“ - Liz Keogh @robmeaney
@robmeaney Trying to get the developers to suggest scenarios was
like pulling teeth @robmeaney
@robmeaney One of those ohh Shite moments! @robmeaney
“Change happens when the pain of staying the same is
greater than the pain of change.” - Tony Robbins @robmeaney
@robmeaney @robmeaney
@robmeaney Get the right people engaged @robmeaney
@robmeaney Get the right conversations happening @robmeaney
The benefits of Example Mapping • Engaging user focused conversations
• Wonderful “ohh Shite” moments • Well understood, sliced & prioritised stories • Less rework • Better communication & progress reporting @robmeaney @robmeaney
@robmeaney Scaling Example Mapping across the Org @robmeaney
Simple questions to get teams unstuck? • Can you give
me an example? • Who will be the first user? • Will it be the same for every user? • Who are the people that may be impacted? @robmeaney @robmeaney
More questions to get teams unstuck? • What do you
think it could look like? • What should always be true/false? • What are all the possible outcomes? • What are the scenarios that may result in these outcomes? @robmeaney @robmeaney
My Context Mapping Process @robmeaney
@robmeaney Context Mapping Canvas @robmeaney
@robmeaney First ever context mapping session @robmeaney
Software is developed by humans for humans @robmeaney @robmeaney
