Track: Test Strategy and Design
When the big boss tells you the critically important project needs to be completely tested, how do we reply? Journey along with Matt Heusser and Pete Walen in a rousing discussion of software testing, professionalism, knowledge and communication about software testing. Along the way you will pick up pointers for explaining testing, setting expectations, risk management … and maybe, just maybe, a little doing more with less. Take home with you a transcript of advice on the issue of complete testing, as well as an audio discussion of the same.
