Tester 2.0 is presented by Tapani Aaltio. As the waterfall era is fading out, new skills are demanded of testers. Since these new skills are quite different from what the old school testers are used to, we can talk about a major upgrade to tester 2.0.

Biography

Tapani has been in different roles in IT projects since 1985. In 2005, when he had his own team of Java developers, he understood the value of testing as the team’s financial results where miserable because of too much warranty work caused by bad quality deliveries. As the introduction of the most basic test practices caused the financial results to improve dramatically, he left his team and became a test consultant. Since then, he has been working as quality manager, test manager and test consultant for several local and international customers, responsible for creating test processes and managing test projects. In the last three years, he has been working with several agile teams and guided them in transforming their mindset to agile and lean. He is also responsible for promoting TMap in Sogeti Finland.
