Agile2016: (Lightning Talk) Breaking illusions
The document discusses breaking illusions in testing by discovering risks. It identifies five types of illusions that can occur: 1) code doing what it's supposed to, 2) product doing what it needs, 3) process able to deliver with change, 4) people having necessary skills, and 5) business model driving the right focus. Testers are encouraged to break out of functional boxes and challenge these illusions in order to provide more valuable information. Experience reports are preferred over definitions or methods.
