Testing Is Your Brand: Sell It!
summary
Claim: change testing’s reputation by owning it, setting clear expectations, and embedding testers in teams. Implements: replace long test scripts with no long‑form test scripts and exploratory testing, document role and safety language in Confluence, require acceptance criteria on user stories and demos as proof, use gherkin scenarios to feed automation, and standardize on five browsers and five devices. Results: reduced wasted months on scripts, smoother client conversations, cross‑office QA guilds and measurable wins (incremental experiments that proved the approach).
