Presentation: Is survival of the fittest only for the fastest?

 

Test automation, continuous integration, pipelines… the need for speed has just exponentially increased over the last decade. Applying Darwin’s theory, it is quite simple: only the fittest –in this case the fastest- will survive. Traditional, manual testers are like a rhinoceros… in danger of extinction.
This talk explains why manual, “slow” testing is still there and has survived all fast rages. Of course, this cannot be realized without some specific survival techniques. What do you think of transforming a T-shaped tester in a NoSheep tester. What about skills like “Get a Fika”, “Think glocally” or “CRUD the crap”.
Wim brings you a light-weight talk based on his 2 decades testing experiences.
