There is a slow-motion attack against the testing profession. Now, more than ever, testers are forced to justify their existence and add value. The best way to add value for the customer is by acting as an advisor, not a salesperson.

So hey tester, what’s your value? There are dozens of essential characteristics and skills of good testers – you can find a list in any testing blog or book highlighting soft skills. But these publications are typically written by testers for testers. What does the customer value? Ryan says hes knows this because as a product owner he has observed countless characteristics and skills from testers that either validate or diminish their value and ability to work well.

Download this Next Generation Keynote recap to gain a new perspective and learn how to overcome this slow-motion attack to proudly demonstrate your testing value.
