This repository captures my learnings, insights, and reflections from the SmartQA - Transformation Program by Ashok Thiruvengadam. This two-month program with weekly sessions is designed to shift the testing mindset, refine activities, enhance outcomes, and maximize business value. The focus is on practical transformation rather than rigid processes, emphasizing habit formation and continuous improvement.
SmartQA is based on a methodology that integrates the science and engineering of testing with a structured approach to transformation. The program consists of:
- Nudge & Transform – Cultivating new habits through small but impactful questions.
- Reflect & Change – Weekly open-ended reflections with no absolute right or wrong answers.
- Enable Action – Driving implementation through discussions and clarifications, both online and offline.
Rather than discarding existing practices, SmartQA refines and elevates them. It is a practice-driven approach where learning is iterative—we experiment, make mistakes, reflect, and grow.
This repository is structured to provide organized, actionable insights from the program:
- Week-wise Notes – Key takeaways and concepts discussed in each session.
- Tools & Techniques – Practical insights into testing methodologies explored.
- Reflections & Applications – Personal takeaways and real-world applications of SmartQA principles.
Regular updates will be made as new insights and learnings emerge.
