Elevate your career: Become a testing generalist
Explore what it means to be a software testing generalist and how to take charge of your own development. Ady and Scott explain the different “shapes” of testers, such as Pi, Tree, and Comb, and show how understanding your shape can help you grow your skills, confidence, and career.
You’ll be guided through a series of practical activities to identify your current skills, decide what you want to learn next, and build a clear, achievable learning plan. Using Ady’s Periodic Table of Testing and Ministry of Testing resources, this talk helps you plan your learning and make steady progress.
