This weekend was the online edition of the Agile Testers Conference. The agenda was very varied, and there were fantastic professionals from all over the world.
I had the chance to deliver a talk about one of my favorite testing topics: Exploratory Testing Driven by Mind Maps. Thanks Leonardo and Samanta for the invitation! I really enjoyed it!
Below you can find the abstract, the slides, and some tweets of the talk.
Abstract
This presentation is about how mind maps are used to support exploratory testing in a cross-functional team. Claudia will share how mind maps help the team have a common understanding of what to test, and how mind maps are designed by the team so they can easily be read and understood regardless of who created them. She will also describe how mind maps are re-used through the different releases, and what the team has learnt when applying this testing strategy. At the end of the presentation, Claudia will share some tips to start using mind maps when applying an exploratory testing strategy.
This story is set during the process of building a multi-platform UI prototyping tool mainly for interaction designers. The team, fully dedicated to building the product, consists of highly qualified and experienced professionals: developers (5), interaction designers (1), visual designers (1), and testers (1).

At the end of the session, there was a slot for questions and answers. Thanks Maaret for all your questions, they helped me share our exploratory testing approach more in depth 🙂
I felt like I broke some unwritten rule asking 8 questions… really enjoyed the talk and wanted to see your perspectives. At least some of those were upvoted so someone else wanted to know too. 🙂
