Track abstract - Room J2 - For testers
The Eye of a Skilled Software Tester
Any ambitious software development team needs skilled software testers that can find defects and information that machines can't give us.
Besides technical know-how, business knowledge, and communication skills, it is important to have an eye that wants to see errors, sees many types, looks at many places, looks often, and focus on what's important.
The presentation will fill a corner of Marick's Testing Quadrant, introduce the software potato, and talk about which quality characteristics that need manual testing. You will not learn how to actually do this testing, but you'll hopefully be inspired to learn, or motivate others.
