Nordic Testing Days 2025

Often you will not be aware of how your mindset is influencing your behaviour and testing skills. Experience a mindset shift and learn how to get back on track.

Join me in an exciting experiment and allow me to transform your mindset! I will demonstrate (live!) how easily your mindset can be influenced and how to break free from its limitations. We will do this together, in a live experiment. Me and you: The audience (or, my test subjects).

Your state of mind not only affects your behavior, but also that of those around you. You can utilize your mindset to enhance team communication and productivity.
In testing, maintaining an open and flexible mindset is crucial, especially in the face of distractions and unexpected events. It's essential to adopt the right mindset to uncover the quality of your test object. If you enter the testing process with the wrong mindset, you may overlook critical bugs or assume quality.

Instead, embrace a mindset that will uncover bugs and quality. To take control, you must be aware of your mindset and develop the skills to change it. I will share tips and tricks on how to become aware, and how to adapt your mindset to reach your goals.

Key Takeaways:

• External influences affect your mindset
• Break a negative spiral in your own mindset
• Your behavior influences others
