Talk Description
Why is it called a ‘Pollen’? Well, let us try and explain why this is a pollen. So we have polls and we have panel discussion. And if you kinda mash those two words together, you get the word ‘Pollen’. - Simon Tomes
Join us for a lively discussion on testing and automation in this episode of "Pollen: A Panel About Polls".
Hosted by Simon and featuring panellists from around the globe, including Natalia, Rosie, and Ashutosh, we delve into the planet of test automation. From exploring the percentage of testing efforts involving automation to discussing the investment companies make in test automation, we cover a wide range of topics.
Through insightful polls and commentary from the community, we aim to uncover the truth behind automation's role in testing and its impact on testers.
By the end of this session, you'll be able to:
- Gain insight into the diverse perspectives on test automation, including its prevalence in testing efforts and the perceived importance of automation skills in the industry
- Understand the challenges and pressures faced by testers in adopting automation, including the balance between automation and manual testing, stakeholder expectations, and the evolving nature of testing roles
- Explore the significance of soft skills alongside technical expertise in testing, recognising the importance of communication, problem-solving, and strategic thinking in ensuring quality and efficiency in testing processes
