Mob Testing: Better Products Through Diversity
Maaret Pyhäjärvi
Granlund Oy
Many different roles contribute to building software: product owners, business specialists, testers. Yet knowledge of programming keeps these roles at a distance. In this webinar, Maaret will discuss a new powerful way of removing this distance for the benefit of our teams: mob programming. She’ll walk through her lessons: the pains of joining a mob as a non-programmer, and the gains of what a tester brings into a mob. This webinar serves as an inspiration to learning together, immersed in the experience of creating software as we’re learning. Diversity of thoughts and skill sets improved everybody and created a better product.
