Track: Open Jam Testing Sessions
You’ve seen the cooking contest shows–Chopped, Top Chef, Iron Chef, and Iron Chef Masters. Well, now STPCon has its very own testing contest: Iron Test Master! You’ll be provided a set of “ingredients” about an IT project and using those ingredients you will design a “recipe” on-the-fly for your step-by-step approach for the testing effort. Just like in the real contests, you will be thrown some curve-ball ingredients affecting your environments, team resources, budget, or change management, to name a few. You’ll be judged against other contestants until the playing field is narrowed down to our final Iron Test Master. Do you want to win some fun prizes for participating and get some test strategy pointers along the way? Do you think you have what it takes to be the 2011 “Iron Test Master”? Come play and find out!
Please Note: There were no presentations for Open Jam sessions.
