Track Talk: Be So Good They Can’t Ignore You

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room. Companies are pressuring testers to do everything but test. Many won’t even interview you unless you advertise automation skills. The reason why may surprise you: they don’t understand the value of testing — and they won’t until you show them.

This session will equip you with specific strategies to tap your testing brilliance and gush so much value that you become impossible to ignore. Developers will ask your opinion about design. Managers will consult you early and often about product and schedule risk. Best of all, you’ll get to do what you really love: test the living daylights out of that software.

Session Takeaways:

• The common strategies of preaching and erecting process roadblocks will neither win friends nor improve product quality.
• Re-imagine yourself as a risk mitigation resource for your team.
• Use the strategies outlined in the talk directly or use them as inspiration to invent your own.
