During my course “Shift Left for Testers” I introduce the concept of User Story Mapping to tease out concrete examples for requirements, and tests to prove that those have been fulfilled. It’s a method I see most often used in product and UX teams, and that’s a shame because it is so very useful for the entire SDLC. The way I use it to plan testing is as follows - here's an example. As an existing user I want to log into my account So I can access my account information. Then I start visualising this with post it notes, either IRL or virtually (Miro works great, or any other whiteboard software you may use). First up, I single out the overall goal, in this case it’s Access My Account Information. Next, I define the action that my persona need to take to achieve this, here it’s Logging In. And then, I break down this action into as many discreet steps as it takes. In this example, we’re 1. Entering a user name into an input field. 2. Entering a password into an input field. 3. Pressing the “submit” button. Now I start thinking about what the requirements for each of those steps are, and what can potentially go wrong, and list those on individual post it notes. Those form the foundation of my testing. You can then take it one step further, and define for those test steps at what level you can execute them, always aiming to do so at the least involved layer that gives you meaningful feedback. For example, you can check that the username is formatted the way you expect in the UI with a unit test, but to know if the username exists in the DB you need to actually call the DB and check there. That’s it in a nutshell - it’s super useful, and can prevent many bugs and misunderstandings. #testing #buildQualityInFromTheStart #storyMapping
