Testing safeguards the quality and reliability of products. And while there might be occasional misunderstandings, as in any collaborative environment, developers and testers are not inherently at odds. On this subject, veteran tester Maaret Pyhäjärvi believes in delivering feedback constructively.  In this episode, she will share her thoughts on the role of testers, how they can provide "the right kind of feedback" to developers, and how to navigate the nuances of different architectures and documentation practices.Listen to the full episode or read the transcript on the Semaphore blog.Like this episode?
