Visualizing Testability
summary
Year-long mission focuses on making “how easy it is to test” visible through a workshop, an onion model and three questions that push testers to list what they can do, what to ask others for, and what to hand to managers. Concrete results: testers learn SQL and responsive‑web basics, one team gets improved logging that actually speeds troubleshooting, snapshots are trialed but not adopted, and specific testability issues get fixed while overall testability remains only partly improved.
