Surviving or Thriving: Top Ten Lessons for a Professional Tester

As testers and test managers we often find ourselves struggling to survive within our organization-sometimes with the possibility of outsourcing or offshoring just around the corner. We often are asked to become more “effective” and more “efficient” with time and resources-to do “more with less.” However, most testers and test managers are unsure of what this actually means. Lloyd Roden shares ten valuable and practical lessons on how you can actually become better at what you do in testing and thrive in your career. Lloyd’s lessons include using modern technology, reviewing test documentation, testing the testers with techniques such as "bug seeding", reporting project waste, providing management with feedback on decisions that they made, and more. This session will be challenging and practical for all testers, test leads, and test managers.
