Session Name : Mindmaps: A killer way to increase your test coverage
A mind map is a visual representation of information in a non-linear format using text, images, branches and colors. Mind maps can help organize thoughts at the start of a project by providing an overview of topics and relationships. They are useful for taking notes from lectures or books, organizing assignments, and planning projects. To create a mind map, draw a central topic and use branches in different colors to add related keywords and images, filling in more details on secondary branches.
A mindmap is a visual way of organizing ideas in a web-like structure. It uses images, colors, and branches connected to a central concept to engage both sides of the brain. Mindmaps are beneficial for brainstorming, planning, note-taking, and documenting ideas in an easy to create and visualize format. The key aspects of mindmaps include a central concept, branches of related ideas, and sub-branches of less important details represented by single keywords, colors, and images.
This document summarizes a workshop about mind mapping and planning. It introduces mind mapping tools like Freemind and MindJet that can be used for planning. It defines a mind map as a diagram that visually organizes information in a hierarchical structure. The document discusses guidelines for creating effective mind maps, and explains how mind maps can be used as a planning technique. It also lists common planning tools like Trello, Microsoft Project, and paper tools. The workshop involved hands-on activities using mind mapping tools to plan an event and take notes.
The document discusses mind mapping, which is a visual thinking technique used to structure information.

Mind Mapping:how to maximize your brain’s potential
Let your creative energy radiate from both sides of your brain, from the kernel of your Mind Map
By presenting ideas in a radial, graphical, nonlinear manner, mind maps encourage a brainstorming approach to planning and organizing tasks.
* Millions of people are using mind maps for brainstorming, note taking, document drafting, project planning and other tasks that require hierarchical structuring of information.
A Mind Map is a powerful graphic technique which harnesses the full range of cortical skills in a single, powerful manner skills manner
A MindMap is a visual note-taking technique that represents ideas, words or concepts arranged radially around a central concept. It uses images, colors and words to depict associations between related ideas and allows for creative thinking. MindMaps follow basic guidelines - starting with a central image and branching out lines of different thickness connected to key words or ideas. They work with the brain's natural way of forming associations and are an effective learning and problem-solving tool.

The mind map is a radially arranged diagram that represents words & ideas linked to a central idea.
To clarify this definition, I’m going to show you one of my mind maps that I have done during my study for the pathology course.
Mind mapping is a diagramming technique for visually organizing information around a central concept. It uses a non-linear graphical layout that is meant to mimic the way the brain naturally thinks and recalls information. Some key aspects of mind mapping include having a central idea with branches radiating out to show sub-ideas and sub-topics, using images and colors to enhance recall, and allowing for organic growth of ideas without strict hierarchies or orders. The technique aims to take advantage of both left and right brain thinking to improve processing and retention of information.
A mind map is a diagram used to visually organize information. It uses images, colors, and branches connected to a central concept to structure key points and show relationships. To create a mind map, you start with an image in the center of a blank page and radiate branches out in curved lines, using different colors, with one key word or image per line. This structure allows the mind to make connections and understand and remember information more easily.
This document discusses how to create and use mind maps on the computer. It explains that mind maps allow you to group related information in an organized way, with a central title and main and sub-branches. It then provides examples of how mind maps can be used for brainstorming, research, sequencing, categorizing, identifying pros and cons, planning assignments and units of work, and more. Finally, it lists some resources for mind mapping software and support.
The document discusses mind mapping, a technique developed by Tony Buzan for organizing information in a visual, non-linear way. Mind maps begin with a central concept or idea and use branches of words, images, and colors to depict related thoughts and concepts. The process involves free association of ideas without judgment and keeping the mind moving to new connections. Benefits of mind mapping include improved learning, clearer thinking, creativity, problem solving, and recall as the technique mirrors the way the brain works and makes key points easy to review.
The document discusses mind maps, which are visual tools used to organize information in a radial, hierarchical structure around a central concept. It outlines the benefits of mind maps, such as improved focus, creativity, memory and clarity. Applications mentioned include project planning, problem solving, meetings and writing. Several mind mapping tools are described, both commercial and free/web-based options. Examples of personal and professional mind maps are provided. The document concludes with a case study on how mind maps were used to plan an organizational newsletter.

Mind mapping is a creative note-taking technique that organizes ideas and information in a radial, graphical manner to maximize understanding and recall. It uses images, words, colors and branches to depict relationships between portions of information mapped around a central concept. Effective mind maps follow five characteristics - a central image, main themes as branches, associated key words/images on lines, topics of lesser importance as twigs, and a connected nodal structure.
A mind map is a diagram used to visually organize information. A mind map is often created around a single concept, drawn as an image in the center of a blank landscape page, to which associated representations of ideas such as images, words and parts of words are added.

This document discusses mind mapping and its benefits. It defines mind mapping as a tool used to visually organize ideas, thoughts, and information around a central topic. The document outlines several benefits of mind mapping, including that it follows the natural associative thinking of the brain, allows for more creative ideas, and improved memorization compared to linear notetaking. Several aspects of creating effective mind maps are also discussed, such as starting with a central idea and radiating subtopics outward in a nonlinear fashion with the use of images, colors, and connections between ideas.
A mind map is a diagram that uses a non-linear graphical layout to represent words, ideas, tasks or concepts linked to a central concept. It gives an overview of a large topic while also holding large amounts of information. Mind maps mimic the way our brains naturally form associations, making them an intuitive way to organize thoughts. When creating a mind map, you should start in the center of a blank page with an image, use colors, connect branches in an associative manner rather than straight lines, and use one keyword per line along with additional images throughout.
Incorporating Mindmapping into EFL Classroomsdoggerwu
The document discusses integrating mind mapping into the English classroom. It describes using mind mapping for vocabulary memorization, reading comprehension, and writing. For reading comprehension, mind mapping can be used for pre-reading activities like brainstorming, and while-reading activities like creating graphic organizers or semantic maps. Several examples of graphic organizers created from passages in the "Joy" textbook are provided. The document also discusses using mind mapping software like MindMan and Inspiration.
Mind mapping is a technique for visually organizing information in a diagram format rather than written sentences. A mind map uses a central topic with branches radiating out in a tree structure to show relationships between main topics, subtopics, and floating topics. Mind maps are useful for brainstorming, improving visualization and critical thinking, decision making, research, outlining documents, storyboarding presentations, and increasing retention. To create a mind map, start with a central topic and radiate branches outward adding subtopics and relationships between ideas. Mind maps differ from concept maps in their focus on a single central topic and use of radial hierarchies rather than connected concepts.

Qcl 14-v3 [pareto diagram - potholes in the city]-[banasthali university]_[an...av2194
The Pareto diagram analyzes the major causes of potholes in a city. It finds that 80% of potholes are caused by three main factors: pavement design and material issues, weather effects, and heavy traffic weight. Together these account for 89 + 75 + 64 = 228 instances out of the total 356 cases. Focusing efforts on improving pavement structure and material, preventing water damage from weather, and controlling overloading would potentially solve 80% of the pothole problems in the city.

Mindmaps: Lightweight Documentation for TestingTechWell
Quality starts with requirements. In small to mid-size companies, it is not uncommon for the communication chain to be broken. Florin Ursu shares ways to avoid miscommunication through a streamlined process in which requirements are communicated to both developers and testers simultaneously; then developers write code while testers document what will be tested. Florin explores what mindmaps are; what they can be used for, both in general and applied to software development; and then dives deeper into how mindmaps can be used for testing. He describes how his teams use mindmaps to brainstorm, organize testing scenarios, prioritize work, review test scenarios, present results to stakeholders highlighting what was tested and (just as important) what was not tested, issues found, and risks. Using example mindmaps, Florin highlights important details captured in day to day work, including tips regarding format, communication style, and how to “sell” the idea of mindmaps to your stakeholders.

Webinar at AgileTD Mondays: Mind maps to support exploratory testing: a team ...Claudia Badell
This document discusses how a team at Infragistics uses mind maps to support exploratory testing. The team builds a mind map for each new feature to identify test conditions, ideas, and variables to cover. Mind maps help the team iterate over existing test ideas, identify new test conditions and ideas, and maintain a common understanding of features. The team references mind maps during exploratory testing sessions but does not track the sessions in the maps. Mind maps are updated based on product changes and stored in a repository with naming conventions. The approach helped the team share knowledge and avoid rethinking test ideas from scratch.
Visualise test scenarios using mind mapsAnkita Gupta
Mind maps are diagrams that visually organize information in a hierarchical structure centered around a key concept. Major ideas connect directly from the center, while other ideas branch out. Mind maps help manage many problems by providing a simplified understanding of a product or topic. They increase test coverage and allow testers to think through test steps in a graphical structure that is easier for the brain to understand than a tabular structure. Popular tools for creating mind maps include Xmind, WiseMapping, and MindMeister.
Gone are the days of writing test scenarios and test cases. There was always a chance of leaving out one tiny but blunderous corner test case. The hassle of creating and maintaining them was something which we had always feared, going through hundreds of links, just to update one piece of functionality. With mind maps, one can better visualise test scenarios, plan out test strategy, provide better coverage, increase understanding of the product, achieve traceability through each component, track data throughout the system, and do a lot more. Using a case study, Ankita will discuss: 1. What are mind maps? 2. How do they serve their purpose in testing? 3. Efficiently creating a mind map for test scenarios 4. Some tools which can be used to create a mind map 5. Converting mind map into test cases into excel sheets or test case management tools. Mind maps not only help in better test cases but in general increase the engineers’ creativity and organisational capability. They are easier to collaborate over with other team members. Being graphical they have better retention and stronger visualisation to estimate and plan better. After all a picture says a thousand words!

Talk at Axiom Summit 2022: Exploratory Testing Driven by Mind MapsClaudia Badell
Axiom Summit 2022 | May 14th
Exploratory testing is a powerful approach that is very useful to obtain information very quickly, to identify bugs in places where we may not expect them, to focus on functional cycles, to learn about the product being tested, and more.
From my experience, when applying exploratory testing, there are two main challenges. A personal challenge, and a challenge from a team-level perspective. Personally, how do I reuse what I have learned from the different exploratory sessions throughout the different test cycles? And, as a team, how do we share what we have learned during the different exploratory sessions?
This presentation is about how mind maps are used to support exploratory testing in the team and how this strategy tackles the aforementioned challenges.
Claudia will share how mind maps help the team have a common understanding of what to test, and how mind maps are designed by the team so they can easily be read and understood regardless of who created them. She will also describe how mind maps are re-used through the different releases, and what the team has learned when applying this testing strategy.

It involves creating a central topic and radiating associated ideas around it as branches in a non-linear graphical format. Mind maps are useful for brainstorming, planning projects, taking notes, learning and recalling information, and problem solving. The key components of a mind map include a central topic, branches of associated topics and subtopics connected with lines or arrows, images, colors, and keywords. Examples of applications include business analysis techniques, stakeholder analysis, software testing, project planning, studying for exams, note taking, and meeting planning.

Longitudinal Benchmark: A Real-World UX Case Study in Onboarding by Linda Bor...UXPA Boston
This is a case study of a three-part longitudinal research study with 100 prospects to understand their onboarding experiences. In part one, we performed a heuristic evaluation of the websites and the getting started experiences of our product and six competitors. In part two, prospective customers evaluated the website of our product and one other competitor (best performer from part one), chose one product they were most interested in trying, and explained why. After selecting the one they were most interested in, we asked them to create an account to understand their first impressions. In part three, we invited the same prospective customers back a week later for a follow-up session with their chosen product. They performed a series of tasks while sharing feedback throughout the process. We collected both quantitative and qualitative data to make actionable recommendations for marketing, product development, and engineering, highlighting the value of user-centered research in driving product and service improvements.

Who's choice? Making decisions with and about Artificial Intelligence, Keele ...Alan Dix
Invited talk at Designing for People: AI and the Benefits of Human-Centred Digital Products, Digital & AI Revolution week, Keele University, 14th May 2025
https://www.alandix.com/academic/talks/Keele-2025/
In many areas it already seems that AI is in charge, from choosing drivers for a ride, to choosing targets for rocket attacks. None are without a level of human oversight: in some cases the overarching rules are set by humans, in others humans rubber-stamp opaque outcomes of unfathomable systems. Can we design ways for humans and AI to work together that retain essential human autonomy and responsibility, whilst also allowing AI to work to its full potential? These choices are critical as AI is increasingly part of life or death decisions, from diagnosis in healthcare ro autonomous vehicles on highways, furthermore issues of bias and privacy challenge the fairness of society overall and personal sovereignty of our own data. This talk will build on long-term work on AI & HCI and more recent work funded by EU TANGO and SoBigData++ projects. It will discuss some of the ways HCI can help create situations where humans can work effectively alongside AI, and also where AI might help designers create more effective HCI.
TrustArc Webinar: Cross-Border Data Transfers in 2025TrustArc
In 2025, cross-border data transfers are becoming harder to manage—not because there are no rules, the regulatory environment has become increasingly complex. Legal obligations vary by jurisdiction, and risk factors include national security, AI, and vendor exposure. Some of the examples of the recent developments that are reshaping how organizations must approach transfer governance:
- The U.S. DOJ’s new rule restricts the outbound transfer of sensitive personal data to foreign adversaries countries of concern, introducing national security-based exposure that privacy teams must now assess.
- The EDPB confirmed that GDPR applies to AI model training — meaning any model trained on EU personal data, regardless of location, must meet lawful processing and cross-border transfer standards.
- Recent enforcement — such as a €290 million GDPR fine against Uber for unlawful transfers and a €30.5 million fine against Clearview AI for scraping biometric data signals growing regulatory intolerance for cross-border data misuse, especially when transparency and lawful basis are lacking.
- Gartner forecasts that by 2027, over 40% of AI-related privacy violations will result from unintended cross-border data exposure via GenAI tools.
Together, these developments reflect a new era of privacy risk: not just legal exposure—but operational fragility. Privacy programs must/can now defend transfers at the system, vendor, and use-case level—with documentation, certification, and proactive governance.
The session blends policy/regulatory events and risk framing with practical enablement, using these developments to explain how TrustArc’s Data Mapping & Risk Manager, Assessment Manager and Assurance Services help organizations build defensible, scalable cross-border data transfer programs.
This webinar is eligible for 1 CPE credit.
Slack like a pro: strategies for 10x engineering teamsNacho Cougil
You know Slack, right? It's that tool that some of us have known for the amount of "noise" it generates per second (and that many of us mute as soon as we install it 😅).
But, do you really know it? Do you know how to use it to get the most out of it? Are you sure 🤔? Are you tired of the amount of messages you have to reply to? Are you worried about the hundred conversations you have open? Or are you unaware of changes in projects relevant to your team? Would you like to automate tasks but don't know how to do so?
In this session, I'll try to share how using Slack can help you to be more productive, not only for you but for your colleagues and how that can help you to be much more efficient... and live more relaxed 😉.
If you thought that our work was based (only) on writing code, ... I'm sorry to tell you, but the truth is that it's not 😅. What's more, in the fast-paced world we live in, where so many things change at an accelerated speed, communication is key, and if you use Slack, you should learn to make the most of it.

AI and Meaningful Work by Pablo Fernández VallejoUXPA Boston
As organizations rush to "put AI everywhere," UX professionals find themselves at a critical inflection point. Beyond crafting efficient interfaces that satisfy user needs, we face a deeper challenge: how do we ensure AI-powered systems create meaningful rather than alienating work experiences?
This talk confronts an uncomfortable truth: our standard approach of "letting machines do what machines do best" often backfires. When we position humans primarily as AI overseers or strip analytical elements from roles to "focus on human skills," we risk creating technically efficient but professionally hollow work experiences.
Drawing from real-world implementations and professional practice, we'll explore four critical dimensions that determine whether AI-augmented work remains meaningful:
- Agency Level: How much genuine control and decision-making scope remains?
- Challenge Dimension: Does the work maintain appropriate cognitive engagement?
- Professional Identity: How is the core meaning of work impacted?
- Responsibility-Authority Gap: Do accountability and actual control remain aligned?
Key takeaways of this talk include:
- A practical framework for evaluating AI's impact on work quality
- Warning signs of problematic implementation patterns
- Strategies for preserving meaningful work in AI-augmented environments
- Approaches for influencing implementation decisions
This session assumes familiarity with organizational design challenges but focuses on emerging patterns rather than technical implementation. It aims to equip UX professionals with new perspectives for shaping how AI transforms work—not just how efficiently it performs tasks.

3. WHAT IS A MINDMAP?
• A mindmap is a diagram used to visually
organize information. It can be called as a
visual thinking tool.
• A Mindmap allows complex information
to be presented in a simplified visual form.
• Mindmap is a great for note taking,
planning, studying, brainstorming etc
4. WHY USE MINDMAPS?
• The information in mindmap is structured in a
way that mirrors exactly how the brain functions
- in a radiant rather than linear manner.
• A Mind Map literally ‘maps’ out your thoughts,
using associations, connections and triggers to
stimulate further ideas.
5. HOW TO DRAW A MINDMAP?
1. Start in the center of a page.
2. Use an IMAGE or PICTURE for your central idea.
3. Use COLORS throughout.
4. CONNECT your MAIN BRANCHES to the central
image and connect your second and third level branches
to the first and second levels, etc.
5. Make your branches CURVED rather than straight-
lined.
6. Use ONE KEY WORD PER LINE.
7. Use IMAGES throughout.
7. HOW TO USE MINDMAPS IN TESTING?
Mind maps can be used in all the test stages
from test planning to test case execution.
Mindmaps can be used for:
•Test Planning
•Requirement analysis
•Impact analysis
•Task allocation
•Test case design
•Traceability
•Test reporting -Quick test reports
8. TEST PLANNING
• While test planning, you can draw an initial
mindmap keeping in mind the list of tasks,
schedules, tools, roles, responsibilities, milestones
etc.
• Present the mindmap and discuss it with your
stakeholders. Modify the mindmap if any changes
are required.
• The final mind map shows you the scope of
testing in one glance. This mindmap can be used
as a blueprint and later converted into a plan. This
ensures that no test activity is missed.
10. TEST CASE DESIGN
• Mindmaps are an efficient way of creating
lean test cases. It reduces the time required
for creating test cases yielding better results.
• Mindmaps are very easy to maintain and are
flexible to changing requirements.
• Draw branches from every user story/epic
and associate all its functionalities as sub-
nodes.Start adding test ideas/test case for
each functionality.
12. TRACEABILITY
• To create a traceability mindmap - add nodes of all the
Epics. Draw branches from every module and associate
all its user stories as subsequent nodes. Now link the test
cases for every functionality. You can link the requirement
number of the test management tool.
This ensures that you have not missed out writing test
cases for any user story. This mindmap gives you the
birds-eye view of your test coverage. You can identify the
areas where you need to strengthen your coverage.
