Made them do #EnsembleTesting. In retrospect they said:
- you learn and get insights you wouldn’t otherwise
- seeing what people know but don’t share openly
- would recommend doing again
- time was shared so no one was hogging the conversation
- got ideas and will share creation soon

I did the talk on 10 years of #EnsembleTesting this week, and in reflections and messaging that went with that talk, realized the core is this:

I am immensely grateful for the 1000 people I have learned from in the last 10 years through seeing how they go about practice and real problems. I would not know even a fraction of what I know of testing if had not seen so many samples of testing.

Thinking does not win, modeling reality wins.

Did whole team #EnsembleTesting today. Reminded on how ‘bias to action’ can easily turn into explaining and that no one knew how to test our system end to end. Happy about the smaller surprise bugs getting fixed within same day just seeing them, and that the thing that was ‘tested’ yesterday is now back at testing since it honestly does not work.

@the_qa_guy @alex_schl @lisihocke I have tried a lot of combos and emphasis over the years. At some point I was writing about those in my blog, but recently I have not been up to anything special - just a standard user for all things #EnsembleProgramming and #EnsembleTesting.

Ensemble-Programming und -Testing entwickelte sich aus der Pairing-Methode heraus. Die besondere Art der Zusammenarbeit steigert die Qualität

A common confusion with #EnsembleTesting is with the patterns of speaking. While the ensemble yields control to navigator unless they have an idea of better, driver reviews and adapts instructions, and asks for clarifications.

The social software testing stuff - #PairTesting and #EnsembleTesting taking me to #TestingTours has been transformational practice. It gave me what the core leaders pretended they had inherently - other people's experiences and perspectives. Having collected ideas from thousands of people on how to look at an application or a piece of code has improved me more than any reading or course ever. Yet it feels like hardest thing for people to get to.

#EnsembleProgramming or #EnsembleTesting on #python #playwright with @ez and @alex_schl is always the highlight of the day. We have so much fun with naming things and playing with language.
