This talk aims to break 10 (amongst many) Myths that desperately need to be broken around Software testing and Testers. These so-called myths, have been around for so long that they are almost the norm. Breaking these myths is necessary to help budding as well as experienced Quality Analysts and teams, roll out better quality software products and build better team practices as well.

How many times do we test the same things at multiple layers, multiple levels, adding time to the build process and testing cycle, delaying the feedback?

We know what to test and how to test, but what is the right place to test it?

In this workshop, we will demonstrate how as QA’s we can identify what tests can be classified as unit tests, integration test and functional test. Using a case study, we will see how each component can be tested as part of unit testing; the integration of different parts and the functioning of a software system as a whole and how functional tests fit into this big picture. We will then bring all these tests together to understand and build the testing pyramid and how it enables us to build the right testing framework with fewer selenium i.e functional tests.
