B2 bomber crashed and $2bn went up in flames
"the aircraft actually performed as it was designed. In other words, all the systems were
functioning normally."

Collaborative specifications
Your job is to provide a testing perspective
Advise what is to be tested rather than test it yourself
Teach them about important issues Learn about the domain and what
developers plan to do

Heavy automation
• Collaborate with developers on automation
• Learn about what they are actually doing
• Share ideas
