    Presentation Abstract:

    Back to Basics

    Organizations are often concerned that testing is not sufficiently focused on finding the problems that really matter. Testers often don’t know how to determine when they’ve tested enough. Testers are naturally inclined to test too much. So we test too much and probably regularly test the wrong things… The solution is simple: back to basics!

    Presenter Bio:

    My personal mission is to improve software quality by shaping better people by connecting, innovating, facilitating, coaching, enabling, and teaching. I’m fascinated by mindset, thinking, behaviour, communication, and collaboration. I’m active in many communities. Some keywords about me: humanist, servant leader, open, direct, creative, idea generator, result-driven, humorous, problem solver, curious, confronting, critical thinker, passionate and energetic, lifelong learner, entrepreneurial, analytic, and continuous (world) improver. I like hanging out with friends, singing in a rock band, playing trombone in a brass band, board & computer games, LEGO, photography, running, beer brewing, magic tricks, travelling, and reading. I work as a quality & test consultant, trainer & coach.
