À propos de cet audio
In this episode of QA in a Box, we explore one of the most legendary problem-solving stories in quality assurance — and no, it doesn’t involve code, dashboards, or automated test suites. It involves toothpaste, empty boxes, a high-priced vision system, and a humble table fan.
You’ll learn how a simple breeze outsmarted a team of consultants, saved a factory thousands, and taught QA engineers everywhere a timeless lesson: simple solutions are sometimes the smartest.
We’ll unpack:
-
The real story behind the infamous toothpaste factory fix
-
Why over-engineering is a common QA trap
-
How to identify "fan solutions" in your day-to-day testing
-
A practical mindset shift for QA professionals at every level
If you’ve ever felt buried in complexity, this one’s a breath of fresh air.
💡 QA Tip of the Week: Ask your team, “What’s our fan solution right now?”
