Imagining Questions

Used in the Questions, Questions workshop and Workroom PlayTime 008

Imagine that you're in one of the scenarios below...

• you're meeting a colleague, who needs a new function to be tested
• you've just joined a new testing team
• you're trying to find out what someone needs to see in your test report 
• or make up your own – I'm not fussy

Share your scenario on the board. Read everyone's, group up if you like, go solo if you prefer.

Solo, in pairs or small groups (5 mins): Write down the questions you would ask to find out more information. 

Analysis (5 mins): How would you order your questions? What patterns and gaps can you see? How would you change to respond to that analysis?

Exchange (5 mins): Share what you learned.

Optional extension 1: Share your questions for your scenario

Optional extension 2: swap scenarios, add questions to each other's sets, notice further patterns and gaps.
