Locked
Many testers struggle with visibility at work. We often hope that doing good work will be enough to get noticed, but it rarely is. In this talk, Cassandra H. Leung explores why making your contributions visible is vital for your confidence, career growth, and influence.
Watch Cassandra share practical ways to show your impact, promote good practices, and celebrate both your own and others’ successes. She explains how simple actions like showcasing your work, sharing helpful resources, and creating a “brag board” can help you highlight your achievements, demonstrate leadership, and inspire a culture that values quality.
By applying these techniques, you can raise awareness of your contributions, shape how testing and quality work are understood, and build a more rewarding career.
