Talking about tests: some stories and a survey

Some of the colleagues drowned: “Yes, he is a seigneur, he must be taken, just how much experience.” Management said he was super motivated. And I said: “He is a cool actor who speaks beautifully about experience. And motivation will disappear when it cannot show the result. ” And thank God the miracle senor did a test and heaped ONE there that everyone had no questions)

Anonymous story from a survey about test tasks




A week ago, we launched a short survey in profile telegram chats and channels about the attitude to test tasks. To date, over 2.5k people have answered it. Of course, maybe we have the wrong sample, but it seems that there are a lot of questions for the test ones.

We decided to discuss them together with Roman Ivliev (Mos.ru, TeamleadConf), Alexander Makarov (Yii Core Team, ex-Wrike and not only), Ivan Matveev (Skyeng), Dmitry Simonov (“Tehdir Club”) and other guys . May 16 afternoon. Online.

Live on YouTube will be held here . Here you can read the details about the format.

Here's what we plan to talk about:

  • Survey results: for which developers and team leaders love and do not like test ones. When and to whom to give, when not, under what conditions?

  • ? ? ( ), — ?

  • , .

It seems that there are absolutely no test cases at all: the business will have economic reasons, the timlid will have its own in order to implement them. But it is in our power to make the test better. So join on Saturday: tell how you are doing or would you do, share your experience - successful or painful.

Once my colleague (team front) gave a test juna. The candidate did it well: everything is according to the ToR, the code is working, the person made an expandable working solution. But the team leader began to get to the bottom of the style and nuances that one could only guess about: like, this is not required here, etc. My conclusion: test was a way of refusal.

And another story that we were sent
