Growing a Company Test Community: Roles and Paths for Testers
Alexandra Schladebeck
BREDEX GmbH
Over the past three years, Alexandra’s company’s test team has grown from three lonesome testers to a community of nine – with more planned. Since they don’t see testers as “click monkeys”, but as valuable and integrated project members who bring a specific skill set to the table, it’s important for us all to choose testers well and to train them in various areas so that they can contribute, grow and see their own career path within testing.
To structure their internal tester training program, they have been developing role descriptions, education paths and career options for their testers, which Alexandra would like to share with you in this webinar.
