Talk Description

I'm a fan and advocate of Stoicism an ancient Greek philosophy. I've found this topic to be a great source of information and support in the challenges over faced in life. As I learnt about it and applied its techniques I realised it can be applied to testing.

This talk covers what:

  • What is Stoicism?
  • What are the core concepts?
  • How does it apply to testing?
  • How can I use it to become a better tester?
