Many of us feel like we never have enough time to fully test in a given sprint, cycle or other timeframe. We plan for the best case scenario, but, undoubtedly, something happens with our best-laid plans that cause us to feel like we “just didn’t test enough.” In this session, we will talk about the five areas that may be causing inefficiencies in your overall approach – to include test planning and duplication of testing to the left of QE.

**Session Takeaways:**

* Melissa will discuss these five areas and you’ll have a chance to share yours.
* The outcome to be practical solutions that can be implemented quickly.
* Once we have the plan to reduce or eliminate the inefficiencies, we’ll talk about areas you may be able to spend more time in or add to your overall testing strategy – effectively adding more time to do what you do best!
