“Testers! Aim to Enable”
summary
Advocates shifting tester work toward enabling the team by doing three concrete things: visualize workflow with a kanban board to spot overload and bottlenecks, run a 3Cs board (Concern → Cause → Countermeasure) and trial fixes for a couple of sprints, and pair early with developers to catch design and code issues and to coauthor automated integration tests so developers start committing tests themselves. The result is fewer bugs in testing, less rework, and more ownership as the team builds quality at source through pair programming.
