The Test Tribe: TTTribeCast Webinar: "Evolutionary Testing Strategy" by Gayathri Mohan

The book Evolutionary architecture talks about how software architecture needs to keep evolving with the changes to business priorities and the tech landscape changes, with fitness functions guiding the evolution.The same concept shall and should be applied to the testing strategy which is what I coin as Evolutionary testing strategy.

Evolving the test strategy is indeed inevitable and has led to downfall when not adopted in many cases. Keeping the test strategy unpolished is like keeping one wheel in a tricycle constant while the other two (the business requirements and the software architecture) keeps moving! Even though it may sound obvious, for some reason, there has never been proper processes, roles or responsibilities defined to evolve the testing strategy. In this talk, I will delve into the problems of not evolving the testing strategy and guide through a few helpful steps into implement the practice of continuously evolving the testing strategy.

• What is evolutionary testing strategy
• Impact of not evolving the testing strategy with examples
• A starter set of steps into implement this practice of evolving the testing strategy.
