The Power of Checklists in Quality Engineering
Checklists are one of the most powerful—yet often underutilized—techniques in quality engineering. They help manage complexity and reduce errors, thereby increasing both quality and velocity.
Checklists support quality engineering across all domains. They are integral to all methodologies, especially in agile and DevOps, and are valuable across all test types, including embedded testing.
What makes checklists so powerful?
They reduce mental load, enabling us to work more effectively. By creating a checklist, we free our minds from the need to remember every step. This allows us to focus on execution, thereby improving productivity. Checklists help us work smarter—not harder.
Using real-life examples, this presentation will demonstrate the power of checklists and how to use them effectively—not only in testing and software development, but also in everyday life. Gerie will show you how to use a checklist to accomplish something you’ve never done before. You’ll learn what makes checklists so effective, specifically:
- How checklists add value
- What types of checklists to use based on purpose
- How to craft purposeful checklists tailored to their use
- How to implement checklists effectively throughout the software development lifecycle.
Join me for this interactive session and apply checklists to your testing tomorrow!

How to harness the power and value of checklists.
How to create effective checklists based on how they will be used.
Where to insert checklists throughout the software development lifecycle.
