Until now I’ve only read or listened about the concept of pair testing and the benefits that could come out from it from different people but didn’t had the chance to try it out. The reasons why I didn’t try it out yet are found in any article, book or blog post that talks about pair testing – each time we thought about trying it there were the neverending “buts” that kept us from doing it: “but we are in the ending game”, “but we have to finish the certification”, “but etc”.

Now, after sawing this video I decided that I must take action and put “Try pairing w/ a colleague to test a feature” on my TODO list for the following week. All I have to do now is to search for some guidelines and then go and put them in practice.

I will come back with a another post about the learnings.

PS: This was my first blog post Yuppy! sharing my thoughts with the rest of world is a great step for me in improving myself as a tester.
