Continuous Testing and Shift-Left roadblocks in enterprise
This one goes out to all those stubborn QA Testers, “Business Users” & User Acceptance Testing (UAT) leads who insist on “waiting until everything’s 100% done” to even start writing Test Cases or carrying out time-consuming manual test scenarios which they undoubtedly repeat every time they need to test anything, all the while resisting “Shift-Left/Shift-Right” principles like Continuous Testing, Acceptance Criteria as test cases, and Test recording & automation/scripting for repetitive test tasks. Likewise it goes out to all those executives who take an indifferent approach to quality, ripe with understaffed QA departments that lets them continue to own corporate application sign-off and define testing practices, all while (quite inadvertently and often unbeknownst to them) acting as the primary bottleneck to delivery.
BC$ = Behavior, Content, Money
The goal of the BC$ project is to raise awareness and make changes with respect to the three pillars of information freedom - Behavior (pursuit of interests and passions), Content (sharing/exchanging ideas in various formats), Money (fairness and accessibility) - bringing to light the fact that:
1. We regularly hand over our browser histories, search histories and daily online activities to companies that want our money, or, to benefit from our use of their services with lucrative ad deals or sales of personal information.
2. We create and/or consume interesting content on their services, but we aren't adequately rewarded for our creative efforts or loyalty.
3. We pay money to be connected online (and possibly also over mobile), yet we lose both time and money by allowing companies to market to us with unsolicited advertisements, irrelevant product offers and unfairly structured service pricing plans.
