  5. Push quality upstream movement "One of the things that annoys me is the whole “push quality upstream” movement. That’s like taking all your vitamins when you are a baby and then expecting a long healthy life. Obviously upfront debugging is good, but quality is an ongoing endeavor. “ James Whittaker @ TestNewsOnline

  6. One size does not fit all Individuals and interactions over processes and tools Fine tune & iterate based on type of product , your team…

  10. Value added test automation Automation is not just a NUMBER in the coverage dashboard (ex: Unit Test Code Coverage) Understand the “WHY” of doing automation Automate tests • Which add value • Help team to build confidence in their code

  11. Light weight practices Mind Maps for test case brainstroming Orthogonal Array Test Strategy Big visible charts …run scrum team like an aquarium
