Up Your Agency
summary
Claim: giving testers real agency — freedom to choose how to test, create throwaway code, and design test automation — turns them from information providers into decision-makers and automation enablers. Example outcomes: a tester defines their own recruitment process, builds a custom role, gets management attention, and produces more useful automation and better-quality results. Practical tools shown: exploratory charters, selective automation plus throwaway scripts, and changing organizational defaults to pass agency forward.
