MoT Podcast - Mike meets Maaike Brinkhof

When you think about testing tools, do you think about the brain first? Deep thinking is necessary for good testing. That’s why it’s very important to develop critical thinking skills to improve the way you test. But, no matter how good you already are at critical thinking, you will make thinking errors. This is because cognitive biases influence us all. This has impactful consequences for testing because wasn’t testing supposed to be unbiased and factual?
