You're facing resistance from developers on testing strategies. How can you overcome their objections?

Start by asking "why" In a non confrontational manner. Often a 1:1 meeting may be more productive than open async communication or team setting Once you get a sense of where the bottlenecks are, start small and align on what action items could be taken to mitigate the concerns. Also, align on milestones towards the goal state that you want to reach together and setup a regular follow up cadence to build trust with your stakeholders

To overcome resistance from developers on testing strategies, start by actively listening to their concerns. Understand their perspectives by asking questions and addressing their specific objections. This shows respect for their expertise and helps you identify any valid issues or misunderstandings. By acknowledging and addressing their concerns, you can work together to refine testing strategies in a way that aligns with both development needs and quality goals.

To help developers accept new testing standards, start by finding out their concerns. Have an open talk and listen to why they might be hesitant. It could be because of more work, not knowing the new standards well, or being happy with the current way of doing things. Understand their views and explain that the new standards are meant to make easier to maintain and improve the project's success, not to criticize their current work.

Define your goal,scope and objective Walkthrough your strategy and test coverage Clearly document the verification part for better coverage Discuss Test data strategy Collaborate with data points,risks and points to overcome

“Seek first to understand, then be understood.” What resistance are we hearing - schedule, depth, coverage, presence or absence of load, performance, pen testing? UAT users? A common conversation is around depth of effort which translate to time. A common QA response is to discuss risk and responsibility - often QA can reduce scope with the proviso that the team (dev, product) signs up for the risk should this decision result in escaped defects down the line. (Narrator: they won’t.)

Explaining benefits with real-world examples demonstrates how robust testing streamlines development and saves time. Clear communication breaks down adoption barriers.

Actualmente existe el rumor de que desarrolladores y tester no tienen una buena relación debido a que el equipo de tester puede retrasar la liberación de una nueva funcionalidad, pero esto se puede solucionar con una comunicación efectiva donde se respeta la opinión de cada miembro de ambos equipos

Here are some detailed steps to implement this collaborative approach: 1. Joint Planning Sessions 2. Shared Goals and Responsibilities 3. Cross-Training 4. Early Involvement of Testers

Collaboration is the way to go when there's any form of resistance internally. With this we can have both parties point of view and based on facts we can take the call.

Joint sessions where developers and testers work together on strategies ensure developers have a voice, fostering a culture where quality is everyone's responsibility.

Offering support to developers and testers is crucial.. for instance if we are transitioning from black bopx to white box.. we might explain the developers what we will cover in white box testing.. and make sure that it is done in a soft and friendly tone. To start with we might only use few testers who have a better relationship with developers..

Before everything there is a need to maintain a good relationship between testing team and dev team and this is the first thing which we need to add here. Thn it started from understanding the concern to explain about the concern. Testing team and Dev team should have daily 1:1 meetings.

Measuring progress from different angles and sharing it with our community is essential. ? For our testers, tracking metrics like bug detection rates and code coverage will clearly demonstrate technical improvements. ?Developers will see how faster testing positively impacts time to market. Our project managers will notice better alignment with deadlines, and our business leaders will appreciate the strong connections between reduced costs and improved product quality. ?Regularly sharing these valuable insights with our community will highlight the significance of these changes and help integrate the new testing practices as an integral part of our process.
