5 Whys in Software Testing

I hope all have heard about the 5 why methodology in general for a project. How it can be implemented in Software Testing?

5 Whys in Software Testing? What it intended for us? How does this be relevant to testing?

After production deployment, imagine that someone initially in your team locates a bug, your Project manager asks why this was not found earlier but he/she will tell someone to fix it then that issue will not be remembered as how it occurred. While focusing on a theme/topic, keeping questions in mind and assuming things is the dangerous segment of the requirement/development/testing phase. We hardly ask why an issue was reopened, where the issue was placed and whether some additional issues will occur because of the hot fixes. We need to get rid of the bugs. A good ‘Unit Testing’ could be a solution in this kind.

Conclusion: Keep asking WHY for most of the answers until you are satisfied. You will be satisfied with 4th/6th why. But try to avoid bizarre questions.

Have a great testing day.
