1 Understand the product vision and strategy

The first step to align your testing efforts with the product goals and objectives is to understand the product vision and strategy. What is the problem that the product is solving? Who are the target users and what are their needs and expectations? What are the key features and benefits of the product? How does the product fit into the market and the competitive landscape? By having a clear picture of the product vision and strategy, you can identify the most important aspects and risks to test, prioritize your testing tasks, and align your testing metrics and outcomes with the product success criteria.

Besides the test bench, test methodology, questions like: “where the product will be used?”, “who will operate the product?”, how will the product be operated?”, “when will the product be operated” should also be considered.

2 Involve test engineers early and often

The second step to align your testing efforts with the product goals and objectives is to involve test engineers early and often in the product development process. Test engineers should not be seen as gatekeepers or quality controllers, but as partners and collaborators who can provide valuable feedback and insights throughout the product lifecycle. By involving test engineers in the ideation, design, planning, and implementation phases, you can ensure that the product requirements and specifications are testable, that the testing approach and tools are suitable and efficient, and that the testing results and feedback are timely and actionable.

1. Engage test engineers from the outset of product development for valuable input. 2. View test engineers as partners in the process, not just quality controllers. 3. Ensure product requirements are feasible and testable with early test engineer involvement. 4. Collaborate with test engineers to select appropriate testing approaches and tools. 5. Utilize test engineer insights to make timely adjustments throughout the product lifecycle.

3 Adopt a user-centric testing mindset

The third step to align your testing efforts with the product goals and objectives is to adopt a user-centric testing mindset. This means that you should always test the product from the perspective of the end-users, not from the perspective of the developers or the testers. You should understand the user personas, scenarios, journeys, and pain points, and design your test cases and scenarios accordingly. You should also use realistic data, environments, and devices, and test the product across different platforms, browsers, and configurations. By adopting a user-centric testing mindset, you can ensure that the product meets the user expectations and delivers a positive user experience.

4 Communicate and report clearly and concisely

The fourth step to align your testing efforts with the product goals and objectives is to communicate and report clearly and concisely. Communication and reporting are essential for test engineers to share their findings, recommendations, and concerns with the product team and the stakeholders. You should communicate and report frequently and consistently, using the appropriate channels, formats, and tools. You should also use clear and concise language, avoid jargon and technical terms, and focus on the key points and actions. By communicating and reporting clearly and concisely, you can build trust and credibility, facilitate decision making, and foster collaboration and improvement.

5 Learn and improve continuously

The fifth step to align your testing efforts with the product goals and objectives is to learn and improve continuously. Testing is not a one-time activity, but a continuous process that requires constant learning and improvement. You should always seek feedback from your product team, your stakeholders, and your users, and use it to refine your testing methods, tools, and skills. You should also monitor and measure your testing performance, quality, and impact, and use data and analytics to identify and address gaps and opportunities. By learning and improving continuously, you can keep up with the changing product needs, user demands, and market trends, and deliver better testing outcomes and value.

6 Align with the product culture and values

The sixth step to align your testing efforts with the product goals and objectives is to align with the product culture and values. Product culture and values are the shared beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors that shape how the product team works together and delivers value to the customers. As a test engineer, you should understand and embrace the product culture and values, and align your testing actions and behaviors accordingly. You should also contribute to the product culture and values, by sharing your knowledge, expertise, and ideas, by supporting and respecting your product peers, and by celebrating and learning from your successes and failures. By aligning with the product culture and values, you can create a positive and productive testing environment and culture, and enhance your testing satisfaction and motivation.
