The test report is dead, long live information!
summary
Argues that the test report dies and gets replaced by continuous, concise test information: minute logs, a daily blog and minute logs, and brief visual summaries. Describes building an end-to-end identification system (fingerprints faces ID scans) where the fingerprint matcher is rock solid but a Euroduck immigration interface fails and nasty error messages recur daily. Uses a 20 test scenarios matrix (checks vs scenarios, colored green/yellow/red), whiteboards mind maps and a beamer instead of heavy ALM reports.
