We’re looking for an experienced QA Developer who appreciate quality and who constantly strives to learn something new!

The Platform team consists of 60 dedicated developers, QAs and product owners in 3 locations and 8 scrum teams.

You’ll be focusing on ensuring that our backend team delivers the cleanest possible product and preventing bugs from ever making it to production. The aim is to go beyond simple quality control and adopting a real quality assurance mindset instead, ensuring that the team is building the right things, in the right way, with unit test and test automation as a natural part of development.

Automated testing is dead, long live fact checking

Common Posted on 2016-07-04 09:07

I want to challenge a term that is widely (mis)used and that is the term automated testing. Whenever you hear talk about automated tests I want you to replace the word “test” with “check”.
It is true that a lot of the activities that tend to fall under testing can be replaced with automated fact checking, and then it should, but checking and testing are two activities with different mechanics.

Testing is a human activity and not a machine activity and can never, or at least extremely seldom, be omitted from any delivery process that claim to have good quality as an objective.
