As aspiring Test Craftsmen, we aim to elevate the standards of professional software testing by not only practicing this discipline but also fostering a nurturing environment where others can learn and master the craft. Our experiences have taught us to value: - Not only early defect detection, but also defect prevention - Not only defect prevention, but also continuous testing - Not only continuous testing, but also test effectivity and efficiency - Not only test effectivity and efficiency, but also a culture of continuous learning, collaboration, and community. In our pursuit of the items on the left, we have discovered the indispensable value of the items on the right. Thus, we hold these principles close as we continue to navigate the intricate and rewarding journey of test craftsmanship. We endeavor to build an enriching community where knowledge is freely shared, improvement is continuous, and excellence in software testing is not just an aspiration, but a way of life. --- ## Tags #TestCraftsmanship #SoftwareDevelopment #DefectDetection #DefectPrevention #ContinuousTesting #TestEffectivity #TestEfficiency #ContinuousLearning #Collaboration #Community #SoftwareTesting --- ## See Also - [[Software Development]]: The Test Craftsmanship Manifesto is a guide for professional software development, emphasizing the importance of testing in this field. - [[Defect Detection]]: This concept is highlighted in the manifesto as an important part of test craftsmanship, but it also stresses the need to go beyond just detecting defects. - [[Defect Prevention]]: The manifesto values not only defect detection but also prevention, indicating that preventing defects from occurring in the first place is a key part of test craftsmanship. - [[Continuous Testing]]: The manifesto places a high value on continuous testing, which involves regularly testing software throughout its development to catch and fix issues as early as possible. - [[Test Effectivity]]: This concept is mentioned in the manifesto as something that should be prioritized alongside efficiency in continuous testing processes. - [[Test Efficiency]]: The manifesto highlights this concept, suggesting that efficient testing processes are crucial for effective software development and defect prevention. - [[Continuous Learning]]: The manifesto emphasizes a culture of continuous learning as essential in the journey of test craftsmanship, indicating that ongoing education and skill development are key to excellence in software testing. - [[Collaboration]]: Collaboration is emphasized in the Test Craftsmanship Manifesto as a necessary component for fostering a nurturing environment where others can learn and master software testing. - [[Community]]: Building an enriching community where knowledge is freely shared and improvement is continuous is a core principle stated in the Test Craftsmanship Manifesto. - [[Software Testing]]: This overarching concept encompasses all aspects of the Test Craftsmanship Manifesto, which outlines principles and values specific to this discipline. --- ## Parent - [[Software Testing Principles]]: The Test Craftsmanship Manifesto is a resource that outlines key principles and values in the field of software testing, making it a specific instance of broader software testing principles.
