• Goal is to make the user’s life easier through design. • Consider things from lots of different perspectives.

@TuffersTests User Researchers • Gather insights in to what people
want • Create “personas” & conduct A/B testing. • Require good communication, presentation & analysis skills

@TuffersTests Business Analysts • Get the detail from customers •
Understand customer requirements & relay them to the Development team • Ask “Why?” a lot!

@TuffersTests Back End Developers • Implement the “rules” of the

@TuffersTests Technical Authors • Create the manuals • Take “developer
speak” & turn it in to something everyone can understand • Require strong writing skills & are able to make the content engaging

@TuffersTests Scrum Master • Protect the team & their work,
to prevent the team from being overloaded with work • Facilitate meetings & make sure everyone is on target • Practical & require good analysis skills

@TuffersTests Testers • Check the system before it is released,
in lots of different ways - usability, performance, accessibility & more! • Focus on detail & providing the user with the best quality product

@TuffersTests Why Testing? • Have you ever noticed a game
glitch? • Have you ever experienced an app/game crash? • How many of you told other people about the glitch/crash?

@TuffersTests Why Testing?

@TuffersTests Seriously, what do you even do?! “In Software Testing,
test Automation is the use of Special software (separate from the software being tested) to control the execution of tests and comparison of actual outcomes with predicted outcomes” #Exciting!!!
