Testers are the eye for the end users - they get it, they use it as the user would! How about seeing what the testers are saying about the performance of the system you are creating? A different perspective brings a lot more than you would think…It’s far more than chasing bugs!

This talk will journey my development as a tester from "click factories”, the first signs of agile, attempting to automate everything to now understanding what continuous testing really is and where the future of the tester may lay.

From this talk you will:

  • Understand how to test ideas before they’re even implemented
  • Gain insight into ways of helping teams understand what quality means
  • See how testability improves quality

     

  • Feel motivated to encourage advocating for testing in production
  • Be confident to share what implementing observability in production means

By the end of this session, you'll be able to:
