Become the CEO of your testing
summary
Claims three concrete moves to "become the CEO of your testing": increase the scope of testing by moving beyond scripted test cases to experiments that check reliability, usability, performance, security and compatibility; test your tests to catch broken or flaky checks; add value regardless of title by saving time/money, closing threads with relentless follow up, creating docs/videos to replace yourself, and tracking risks. Includes a before/during/after project checklist for onboarding, backups, storytelling with meaningful metrics, and handover artifacts.
