Tesena

EuroSTAR 2023 Virtual Day was an event to share ideas, knowledge, inspiration and to connect as a community. Its talks covered the strategic importance of testing, the quality engineering strategy, valuable techniques for better efficiency in your work, neurodivergency in the testing world, the value of continuously learning from mistakes and not accepting complacency, leveraging feedback processes, well-balanced teams, and why humans become vulnerable to Plan Continuation Bias.

In this talk, Phil Royston shares: Is testing as electricity?

The presentation’s main message is that the stable, reliable, and quality supply of software testing is vital in the modern world and how, as software testers, we need to understand this responsibility and respond by increasing our level of professionalism. By comparing ourselves to the electricity industry, which has long understood that it is of strategic importance, we can also find some inspiration from their approach.
