Questions to help clarify test status

Stealing from a post I did on SearchSoftwareQuality.com, here are some questions I use to clarify testing status when doing debriefs:

  • What was your mission for this session?

  • What did you test and what did you find?

  • What did you not test (and why)?

  • How does your testing affect the remaining testing for the project? Do we need to add new charters or re-prioritize the remaining work?

  • Is there anything you could have had that would have made your testing go faster or might have made your job easier?

  • How do you feel about your testing?
