Discussion on pairing test

pair programming is a very simple and intuitive concept: Two programmers sit in front of the same computer and work together to complete the same piece of code. Two programmers have the same disadvantage and the possibility of blind spots is very small, so pair programming will get a better solution. Similarly, pairing test (pair testing) can you get two testers to pair? Work experience, education experience, look at the problem angle, the way of thinking differences will certainly allow us to test the same test sample, take long short, complementary advantages, reduce the test omission.

What should we do if the pairing test is done?

Two testers use the same computer, and everyone is absolutely against it. The number of testers is insufficient and the same machine is used to reduce efficiency.

But it must be done at a very central point, two people jointly responsible for the same module test, when the harvest package hit the test phase, two people at the same time on their own machine to test their own ideas, a tester found that the problem must be with another test staff to communicate effectively. Two people were tested and issued a test report together.

Pairing test---may not necessarily be two people, multiple testers to co-test together when we call trooped test (mutiple testing) What advantages does---bring?

Testers are very sensitive, in their own implementation of the test, the program a little bit abnormal, will be aware of the possibility of defects, will go to root chase, to determine whether it is a defect or operational problems caused. When testers communicate the flaws they find, they may inspire each other to discover more flaws. One tester found a flaw, and another tester might find more flaws similar to the flaw.

help testers become more familiar with the business . Pairing test the first two testers may be familiar with the SCM, SRM module, the pair will need to be familiar with the two modules. The surface needs to be familiar with a lot of business, in fact, two testers test, than one alone to save half of the time, and better results. Familiarity with the business allows us to perform tests better.

Avoid testing fatigue phenomena . With two pairs of paired tests, you can work together to overcome the difficulties encountered and share the sense of accomplishment of finding defects, which will become more interesting and more efficient.

contributes to the average distribution of workloads . When a tester tests a module, it sometimes has fewer test tasks and sometimes more test tasks. Two testers to test two modules, these two module tasks are more than the probability is very small, when a module test task is more, the other is less, the work pressure of the two-bit test task is not as big as the pair before.
