Yes, making a sharp and unexpected pivot into remote work brings a fair share of complications, no matter what you do for a living. But software testers are facing some unique challenges. Coordinating testing across all the different tools and people involved in the end-to-end quality process was never easy to begin with. But now, many organizations are deploying urgent updates almost instantly — which means testers need to figure out how to test even more efficiently as they negotiate new ways of working.
We wanted to take this opportunity to share some tools and tips that are helping testers within our own teams as well as our customers’ teams. If you have additional ideas, we encourage you to add them in the comments section. Ideally, we’d like to update this post periodically to provide a central reference point for best practices that are adding value across the testing community.
