Testing is part of your quality strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you’ll learn<\/h2>\n\n\n\n


Testing is a proven technique in software development to assure quality of code, and to prevent bugs to appear in places where you didn’t expect it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, developing a good strategy is often a struggle. Tests often take a lot of work, and they tend to be very brittle when things change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to develop a resilient test strategy, and how this can fit in the QA strategy of your company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
