We are super excited to announce another duo of beautiful human beings at MoTaCon: Lisa Crispin and Eamon Droko 🫶
Lisa and Eamon will be facilitating a workshop where they'll show that testing shouldn't be a lonely marathon or a stressful bottleneck.
It should be a team sport!
This workshop is a hands-on guide to making quality everyone's favourite hobby.
You'll learn:
 - Ways to organise and run a diverse and inclusive testing party, also known as an ensemble testing session, that are a valuable use of everyone's time
 - How testing parties can get the whole team interested in testing and engaged in a range of testing activities, and the best opportunities to host them
 - Continuous improvement for your testing parties
Join Eamon and Lisa on the 1st of October to learn how to host a Testing Party that actually makes people want to find bugs!

I love meeting people, hosting friends and family, snowboarding, food, binge-watching sci-fi TV shows, photography, my family and life itself!
