About the Talk
Who is testing? What tools will help them? A report on research in progress
People who test come from many backgrounds and have sometimes surprising earlier careers and interests. People who test are not “just testers”. For some testers, the tools they use may not support them appropriately. What do we do about this? Isabel Evans is researching the experiences of testers with tools and automation, and as part of that uncovered some surprising contributing factors to testers’ experiences of their tools. Isabel’s findings from research completed between 2017 and Summer 2022 give insights into who is testing, how they are testing, and their views about the tools they are asked to use. Isabel will discuss why usability can be an illusion, what it is like to be stuck in limbo, and the mixture of frustration and pride felt by testers. She discusses her current and future research, with her plans to the end of 2025, and how research could contribute to improving testers experiences of tools in the future.
