    In high-pressure testing, overcommunication slows you down, precision matters. Speed doesn’t mean chaos. Structured, minimalistic communication wins. -> Use a "decision log" for critical changes, ensuring alignment without unnecessary meetings. -> Implement an "alert severity system" so only urgent issues interrupt workflows. -> Maintain a “rolling dashboard” of test status, failures, and risks visibility reduces panic. -> Keep bug reports clear and action-driven to avoid back-and-forth. -> Foster a culture where testers and developers collaborate, not just report issues.

    Utilize Microsoft Teams to keep a clear line of communication with the team. Also document throughout the process to create checks and balances. This also will allow for team building later.

    During high-pressure software testing, I prioritize proactive and transparent communication. In addition to using a central platform, I ensure there’s a clear escalation process for critical issues. Quick updates in real time prevent bottlenecks, but we also document key takeaways for clarity. I encourage a culture of psychological safety so team members feel comfortable raising concerns.
