Teams are horrible at this! They have no idea it should happen, and if they do, they're usually lost and the approach is terrible. When you break it down, it's really not difficult. This shouldn't be a black box anymore. I will cover the following: (1) What each of the test planning aspects are and how to do them including MDE and duration estimates, (2) CXL's pre-test calculator unless our new Optimizely one is live by the time I record, (3) how to turn pre-test calculations into a testing roadmap, and (4) how to determine when a business can't test or when a swimlane isn't viable so teams can stop wasting time.
