Talk Description
Many testers work alone in small and mid-sized companies. Sometimes this can feel frustrating and overwhelming; sometimes, it's highly rewarding and freeing. 

In this Masterclass, Jessica Ingrassellino will share her experiences as the lone manual and automated tester in several mid-sized startups. Jessica will discuss the pros and cons of working as the lone tester. Then share strategies for managing multiple teams and departments, including organisational and team tactics. You'll then be shown how to use this advice in your own context.

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

  • Compare the pros and cons of being a lone tester
  • Realise the challenges of a lone tester can be growth opportunities
  • List strategies to implement to thrive as a lone tester
