What is the webinar about?

Paul Holland will discuss many testing topics including metrics, automation, language/semantics, and trends in the industry. During this energetic talk Paul will talk about his own experiences, observations, and conclusions that back up his ideas. He will provide guidance as to what testers can do to combat “best practices” like “our goal is 100% automation”. He will show examples of test reports that provide actionable information and not numbers that give the illusion of information. But, most of all, he will provide you with his strong opinions in the form of entertaining rants and stories.

Key Takeaways:
  • The words we use matter
  • Testing metrics are often dangerous
  • Many test reports are ineffective at communicating actionable information
