The global economic crisis is here, what have we learned from the previous ones? What can we learn from the current one? Do we see any changes within the organization of our testing?Is it maybe affecting the perfomance and how strong does it do it?
Many questions can be raised at this period of time, especially when we have less time to deliver and there are no compromises in products quality.
The ways people act and behave are sometimes, so it seems, very obvious, we are tending to forget to learn from our previous mistakes or we do not use the knowledge we gained from previous experience; We find ourselves acting all the time, instead taking a breath and start analyzing, resulting in a short research on the current situation and where it came from.
You will be able to view how employees behave and act before the crisis and how they are dealing with the crisis now. I will share with you some records I made and we will analyze them together, trying to point out those
which we will correct during a crisis and those we want to preserve and benefit from after the crisis.
