Interview with Abby Bangser

In this episode, we host Abby Bangser. She is challenged with the heuristic “Timebox the unknown” from the Xebia Essentials repository (https://essentials.xebia.com/timebox/). She shared a recent real-life example of how timeboxing can narrow the problem space towards a solution which can be helpful from day one. During our conversation, she shared some of her heuristics used daily.

Abby (@a_bangser) has ten years in the industry. Over half of this time as a tester, but the last bit was mainly in systems, platform and infrastructure testing, which led quickly into SRE. You can find her at a conference near you speaking about some of these topics!
