# Expert Tips on Reducing Documentation 

As a test manager, for many years, my life has revolved around paper... requirements, documents and reports. I even had the poster!

I must admit I found comfort in my templates and checklists but then came [agile](https://blog.nfocus.co.uk/hubfs/Content/White_Paper/Agile%20Test%20Tips.pdf)! In an agile world, the focus is on delivering working [software](https://www.nfocus.co.uk/) quickly and efficiently.  Agile methodologies encourage collaboration and communication between team members, including End Users, Testers, Developers and Product Owners. One of the key principles of agile is to value working software over comprehensive documentation.

# Mobile Device Testing: What You Need to Know

*This blog was a collaborative effort, bringing together diverse perspectives and expertise to create a comprehensive piece. We extend a special thank you to all the contributors including Jessica Ward and Jane Kelly who generously shared their knowledge and insights.*

Hi fellow readers! I’d like to share an insight into my experience with [mobile testing](https://www.nfocus.co.uk/software-testing/mobile-application-testing-services/), the compatibility issues across a range of mobile devices and its benefits. I’ve conducted testing for many years and find the same topics being debated: time, cost, money, quality and compatibility.

# Exploring the Essential Skills SDET’s need to become a Good Communicator

After reading a previous blog that covered important basics for a career in software testing, ‘[What makes an Effective Test Consultant?](https://blog.nfocus.co.uk/software-test-consultant)’; it felt to me that a more detailed look at one of these areas was needed to help illustrate how important soft skills are for people starting out in this space.

# Overview of Technical Testing

This week's blog comes from our guest writer, Renée Mineart.

One of the first lessons taught in every writing class I’ve ever taken is the concept of “show, don’t tell”. 

When writing a bit of prose, you always want to show the reader what is happening in a scene as opposed to a short summary telling them what happened. “Bob fell out of the tree” isn’t nearly as impactful as “Bob put his full body weight on the branch beneath his hand as he planned the next stage of his climb but the branch was unable to support his weight."

# Introduction: Exploring the Significance of Software Quality

We talk about 'quality' quite a bit in our line of work, we talk about:

- [Quality assurance](https://www.nfocus.co.uk/software-testing/software-qa-services-specialist-testing/)
- QA & Test
- Improving quality
- Ensuring quality
- The quality of the software

# Leveraging Time-Travel Techniques in Testing

I am often asked what are the biggest mistakes that companies, projects or [testing teams](https://blog.nfocus.co.uk/topic/test-teams) make in execution. Well, aside from hiring me to do the testing in the first place, there is one area that does keep cropping up as being missed… thinking about and [testing](https://www.nfocus.co.uk/software-testing/) beyond the initial or obvious journey.

There are many labels attached to this – one of the best I’ve heard though is 3-dimensional testing. So, what do we mean by that?

# **Introduction to Software Quality Challenges**

This week's blog comes from our guest writer, Renee Mineart. 

I am often *(far too often if you ask me)* heard saying to my colleagues the phrase, ‘should is my favourite IT word’. 

I normally say this right after someone in development or on a [technical team](https://blog.nfocus.co.uk/topic/test-teams) says to me, *‘we’re going to apply this patch and everything should be fine. The customers should not experience any issues.’ o*r when saying *‘once we’ve installed this new software, the users will just need to reboot and everything should work better than before.’*

# Developing a Software Test Plan & The Impact of it 

Within every organisation there are a number of documents that have a hieratical order. When it comes to [testing](https://blog.nfocus.co.uk/improve-software-testing-take-the-driving-seat) deliverables,<https://blog.nfocus.co.uk/improve-software-testing-take-the-driving-seat> you would expect to find the test policy document at the top of the tree; this document is only a couple of pages long but does at executive level spell out the quality needs of the organisation and gives the vision of what is expected of every project. This document is owned by the CIO or IT Director and should be mandated to ensure every programme and project works to the same expected standards every time.

# Introduction to Test Automation in Software Testing

As we rapidly approach the new spring season with vigour, there is never a better time to revisit areas in our work/home lives and look at applying a fresh approach to make improvements.

The same can be said for<https://www.nfocus.co.uk/software-testing/>[software testing](https://www.nfocus.co.uk/software-testing/) and exploring fresh ways of being innovative in the use of processes, tools and [methodologies](https://blog.nfocus.co.uk/testing-methodologies-five-core-components-of-testing) applied. The new financial year can bring new opportunities to invest in improvement initiatives and the spring season can often give rise to renewed energy, open mindsets, renewed commitment to try and apply new strategies and look to reduce none value-add activities.

# Strategies for Meeting Stakeholder Expectations

*“Expectations were like fine pottery. The harder you held them, the more likely they were to crack.”* -  Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings.

Sometimes, as a Tester I feel as if I am the only one with a grip on reality!

- Delivery into test is late but still the Project Manager expects us to do the same level of testing in less time.
- The system is not meeting the customer expectations but still the Product Owner wants to ship.
- The Developers are rejecting every defect we raise and somehow it’s our fault that the code is buggy.
