Quality is complex. Quality is subjective. Even if we all talk about the same system and have the same professional background, our assessment of a system’s quality might wildly differ. So, when I got the request to detect the quality gaps among multiple teams, I knew I needed a uniform way to scan and assess in order to provide this information.

This is when I discovered Colin Breck’s Quality Views. What initially was meant to only help me detect the next focus area as a test engineer, turned out to be a powerful tool that helped the teams and our management to create a common understanding of our systems and their quality.

Quality Views help us balance the effort put in delivering new functionality to customers with the effort needed to improve & maintain the quality of our systems.

I hope that by sharing my experience with Quality Views:

• you’ll see the potential of applying this tool in your organization,
• enable your organization to move faster by improving your quality
• and establish a uniform way of assessing the quality of any type of systems you own (customer facing or not)

Entered the world of software testing in 2014 and loving it ever since!

Upon entering the world of software development, I learned quickly that in order to bring the right product to customers, having people with the best tech knowledge with you is simply not enough – there is so much more to it. This is why besides learning new tools and techniques I always take the time to work on my communication and organizational skills as well as on my understanding of human interactions.

Supporting multiple teams working in an e-commerce, I had the opportunity to take my coaching skills to a serious test and prove that being a tester or later on a staff engineer doesn’t have to be a lonely position in the organization.
