Test Scope and Minimising Blast Radiuses

In this episode, Rich Jordan, takes a step back to consider the SUT, Architecture and Design Patterns, with the goal of sharpening your Test Scope and Minimising Blast Radiuses of a Combinatorial Explosion.

Rich explores how creating manageable test packs for instance may require reviewing current architecture and design practices, an outcome being more design conversations amongst SMEs including testers, architects, designers, and developers. With all stakeholders working around an architectural diagram, it’s easier to identify boundaries and changes affecting a SUT, about its interface points, its technologies, design patterns and alignment, info on its functionality, and how changes are tracked.

This segment is part of Art of Modelling: Test Approaches, with Curiosity Software Enterprise Solutions Architect, Rich Jordan. What does a good test approach need to consider?
