Testers shouldn't be made into gatekeepers. One of the strengths of a testing mindset is opening gates, or crashing through them.

Today I have enjoyed exploring a tool we're going to use as a partial reference implementation on another project by writing unit tests for its key function.
The tests document my understanding (and the issues I found) and are easily shareable with the developers on the project too.
One of the joys of making tools for one purpose is realising that you can use them for another. #testing
Think of a question (that matters)
Find a way to get information to help answer it (at a proportionate cost)
Interpret the result (in context)
Repeat (while it's worthwhile)

Another day, another conversation about whether something I'm doing is #testing or not.
Software tester. Sympathetic sceptic. Bad puns.
