Talk Description

Learning has always been a tough road for many. Yet, it is the most important skill for a tester.

As children, we all used to enjoy learning as it was filled with excitement, games, and fun. We want to share some interesting games that have helped us to sharpen our testing skills.

These games have a huge potential in the way teams approach learning.

What you’ll learn

By the end of this talk, you'll be able to:

  • Learn ways to increase bonding between team members
  • Learning can be fun and exciting if approached with gamification
  • Testing is about exploring things, and so are games
  • Uncover my hidden biases and learn how to overcome them
