Bespoke Agile & Testing Training
I have recently finished the fabulous but grueling “BBST Bug Advocacy course” run by the AST so my head is full of ideas about bugs, including how to reproduce them & document them in such a way that those making decisions them have the information they need.
This studying came on top of a lot of work I’ve been doing into the Cynefin framework. My brain is now trying to weave the models I learned on Bug Advocacy into the Cynefin framework.
This post is where I am up to right now with it…

I watched a great presentation from Dave Snowden called “How Not To Manage Complexity” (State OF The Net 2013).
In this series of posts, I take quotes & ideas from the talk I found memorable & attempt to apply them to the world of software development. I do this in order to share & hopefully improve my ideas on complexity.
The Cynefin framework has found many useful applications in the software development industry. Liz Keogh has done great work in applying the model to software development.
Some focus has been paid to Cynefin from a software testing perspective, such as by James Christie, Jesper Lottsen & Joe Larson, all of which have helped form my ideas on Cynefin & testing.
This post is my attempt to improve my understanding of Cynefin & how it can be applied to software testing.
