Conclusions
• Testers are special– we can improve on the generic motivation theories
• Please try to use the most influential factors– ALL
• MASTERY + ENVIRONMENT + VARIETY + FEEDBACK + AUTONOMY
– ASIA • IDENTITY + VARIETY + FEEDBACK
– TOP 4• ENVIRONMENT + VARIETY 2 + MASTERY 1 & 3
• Not all testers are the same– Don’t treat everyone working in testing the same
• different roles require a different focus• culture plays a part – but less so than the roles
– We need to consider ‘smarter’ approaches to the motivation of testers
