I tuned into a conversation on testing debt for STEC with Veerle Verhagen and Lewis Prescott

What a wonderful conversation covering so many aspects of testing debt:
- What factors influence how teams evaluate and prioritise testing debt?
- Skill gaps as a cause of debt build up.
- Challenges with legacy automation
- The role of junior testers in managing debt
- The dilemma of maintaining vs. starting fresh
- How can teams reduce and manage testing debt?
- Making testing debt visible
- Establishing team dynamics and responsibilities
- Visualising testing debt
