Here's my #Day1 tip
Document even little things at work. Taking note of minor things will enable a fruitful habit of noting down the question that seemed substantial to you, also this will at part later help in showcasing things that were missed, undefined, or any critical topics.

Agile Testing is about team spirit, collaboration, and effort. Maintaining a no-blame environment always allows the team to be more open to learning and encourages them to invest time in enhancing one's skillset.

While designing the Test Strategy it's always good to collaborate with developers. Having a good communication line with developers during Test Strategy design can do wonders for making the testing smooth, this will help to share effective ideas in the kick start phase.

Here's my #Day4 tip
Don’t just rely on written communication, while working with people from different parts of the world (i.e virtual team), many a time written communication causes misunderstandings, have a good practice of taking up calls and scheduling meetings this can make things work faster.

Here's my #Day5 tip
Instead of spending time writing many test cases, focus on writing productive test cases. At times we Testers are more fascinated to run a lot of Testcases during our execution time, but rather than that let's write limited yet more effective Testcases and make are Test Execution worth it.

Here's my #Day6 tip - Take your time, never hurry up in Testing.
At times we might feel that the testing can be done quickly, but the point here is will it hold that amount of quality in your testing? A simple requirement that needs to be tested might require the most creative thinking, so always don't rush yourself, use your time productively.

Here's my #Day8 tip
While rasing BUGS keep it detailed and clear. Lack of clarity leads to misunderstanding and slows down the debugging process. Also, make sure to describe your bugs meaningfully in simple words.

Here's my #Day9 tip
Your Test Preparation should always start by spending some time exploring the software. Make a habit of preparing some graphical models on the features and requirements to be tested, this will likely help you to uncover features that you may not be aware of.

Here's my #Day10 tip
We Testers are not always meant to just report the bugs, be the change - try to troubleshoot the root cause of the failure this will eventually lead you to the solution of the problem. The team you work with will be benefited from this and you in turn will be respected if you not only log the bugs but also provide solutions.

Here's my #Day18 tip
Have a habit of maintaining a common personal repository for capturing all your Test Deliverables. It’s good practice to keep all of your important resources in one place in your personal drive at work. You might need to revisit them later for some valid reason or to retrospect the work later.

Here's my #Day19 tip
Provide continuous feedback about the health of the application under test. When issues are reported early, they can be fixed faster. If the feedback loop is delayed it becomes more difficult and time-consuming to identify the root cause of the issue. This is an important objective of testing in an agile environment.

Today marks the last day for the super cool initiative by The Test Chat Community, it was a fun and learning experience being a part of it. Got to collect many useful tips from amazing people from different communities, this even opened doors for networking with new buddies. Thankful to The Test Chat Community for enabling this.
Now to end up, Here's my #Day21 tip - Learning is a never-ending process
To have an unquenchable thirst for learning, you’d need to look at yourself before and compare it with how you are right now. Is there anything you’ve done in the past year that seemed stupid and wrong, or you found to be really difficult, but now it’s easy? If you can’t answer these questions, chances are that you’re not learning enough, in that scenario try to infuse learning into your everyday life, “Be a student. Always.”
“Never stop to learn and never learn to stop.” Continuously strive to learn new things and never be contented with what you know.
Happy Learning 😊 Happy Testing 😊
