|
|
110
|
+
|
|
111
|
+
Works exceptionally well with:
|
|
112
|
+
- `context-driven-testing` - Choose practices based on context
|
|
113
|
+
- `risk-based-testing` - Prioritize using Black Hat
|
|
114
|
+
- `exploratory-testing-advanced` - Use Green Hat for creative charters
|
|
115
|
+
- `holistic-testing-pact` - Comprehensive quality model (all hats)
|
|
116
|
+
|
|
117
|
+
## Key Benefits
|
|
118
|
+
|
|
119
|
+
1. **Uncovers Blind Spots**: Each hat reveals different insights
|
|
120
|
+
2. **Balances Perspectives**: Black Hat pessimism balanced by Yellow Hat optimism
|
|
121
|
+
3. **Structures Discussion**: Prevents chaotic brainstorming
|
|
122
|
+
4. **Builds Consensus**: Team alignment through shared process
|
|
123
|
+
5. **Saves Time**: 30-90 min investment prevents days of rework
|
|
124
|
+
6. **Validates Intuition**: Red Hat legitimizes gut feelings
|
|
125
|
+
7. **Drives Creativity**: Green Hat forces innovative thinking
|
|
126
|
+
|
|
127
|
+
## Common Pitfalls to Avoid
|
|
128
|
+
|
|
129
|
+
❌ **Hat Mixing**: Combining perspectives (e.g., "Tests are passing (White) but I'm worried (Red)")
|
|
130
|
+
- ✅ **Solution**: Strict separation, use timer
|
|
131
|
+
|
|
132
|
+
❌ **Justifying Red Hat**: Rationalizing feelings instead of trusting intuition
|
|
133
|
+
- ✅ **Solution**: "I feel X" not "I feel X because..."
|
|
134
|
+
|
|
135
|
+
❌ **Skipping Hats**: "We don't need Green Hat"
|
|
136
|
+
- ✅ **Solution**: Every hat reveals insights, wear all six
|
|
137
|
+
|
|
138
|
+
❌ **Rushing**: 5 minutes for all hats
|
|
139
|
+
- ✅ **Solution**: Minimum 5 min per hat, use timer
|
|
140
|
+
|
|
141
|
+
❌ **Judging Contributions**: Criticizing ideas during Green Hat
|
|
142
|
+
- ✅ **Solution**: All ideas valid, evaluate later in Blue Hat
|
|
143
|
+
|
|
144
|
+
