How I learned to test without sleep
0Testing is an activity which requires the full attention of the person performing it and which engages both sides of the brain.
While this statement certainly is true, sometimes reality prevents us from living up to it.
Maybe you were kept awake by your sick child all night.
Or maybe you wanted to "watch just one more episode" of your favorite TV show and didn't realize how fast time flew by.
Or maybe you came home from a party at sunrise.
Regardless of the reason, on some days "full attention" is nowhere to be found and at least one half of the brain is in deep slumber.
In this talk I'll share the techniques which helped me to provide valuable testing to my team even on those occasions. As long as you don't fall asleep during the presentation the next time you're faced with such a situation you'll have the tools to make the best out of it.
