Recap – Am I providing value?
Let’s recap what’s been done so far:
- Discovered Rypple and started testing it out.
- Applied theories from the Heuristic Test Strategy Model. Took notes on what I observed
- Asked stakeholders what is important to them using CRUSPIC STMPL as a guide.
- Went back and forth with the stakeholder.
- Started a charter list.
Here is how I could approach Rypple going forward with what I’ve learned so far
- Explore the project environment using HSTM as a guide
- Talk to Tiho face to face to get more insight
- Develop a rich set of testing ideas using a variety of techniques.
- Pull from my RST learning, my JItlearning and model the program using different visual tecniques – mind maps, white-boards etc.
- Put these ideas in a safe place. My blog seems like a good place so far
So have I provided value to Rypple? In response to my last post I got this from Rypple.
“Adam, that’s an awesome post. Again, I must say how I like your
informal “thought-process” style. It gives readers the real insight in
your decision making and justifying your reasoning. I agree with you
that some of this could be used to train new testers.
Also, since we are all in Toronto, it would be great if you could come by and I would introduce you to my team. I’d especially like you to meet with James Wu. He is our resident usability expert and I bet that the two of you could have a long and productive discussion on what’s
important to Rypple users and what to look for. So please let me know if you are interested.”
What do you think I said to this request?
