  3. Testers Bill of Rights By Tom Gilb & Kai Gilb

  4. The Testers Bill Of Rights • Testers have the right to unambiguous and clear requirements, qualities must be quantified. • Testers have the right to be a party to setting the quality levels of process and documents inputs, and to their product outputs. • Testers have the right to sample the process and document inputs, and to reject inputs of poor quality. • Testers have the right to test evolutionarily; early as the system increments. • Testers have the right to an even workload, adequate resources, and to have a life. • Testers have the right to specify the potential consequences of products that they have not been allowed to test properly. • Testers have the right to not clean up sloppy work by others, but to test for compliance to requirements.

  5. What Are Your Challenges ? • We would like to spend a short while collecting information from you about the challenges you face in your everyday work as a tester in your organisation • We will apply the techniques we are presenting here to a selection of these problems • You will also get a chance in the afternoon session to apply the technique we are presenting to one of your particular problems
