1. Pair Testing
🔹 Two team members (usually a tester and a developer) test the application together.
🔹 Helps in real-time debugging and understanding the software better.
🔹 Encourages knowledge sharing between roles.
Example:
A tester and a developer sit together to test a new feature, where the tester thinks of edge cases while the developer fixes issues on the spot.
2. Mob Testing
🔹 A group (developers, testers, product owners, etc.) test together on a single machine.
🔹 Encourages diverse perspectives, reducing blind spots.
🔹 Works well for exploratory testing and complex scenarios.
Example:
A cross-functional team tests a new payment gateway integration in real-time, brainstorming different failure scenarios.
3. Behavior-Driven Development (BDD)
🔹 Uses Gherkin syntax (Given-When-Then) to define test scenarios.
🔹 Ensures tests are written in plain language, making them understandable for non-technical stakeholders.
🔹 Promotes collaboration between business analysts, developers, and testers.
