[Public Lecture] - Today's Testing Innovations
Presented by Lee Copeland
As a consultant, Lee Copeland has spoken with thousands of software testers in hundreds of different organizations. Generally, he comes away from these discussions depressed with the state of testing. Many organizations neither know about nor have adopted recent important innovations in our field. Lee discussed nine of the important innovations in testing—the context-driven school, test-first development, really good books, open source tools, session-based test management, testing workshops, freedom of the press, virtualization, and testing in the cloud. Delegates Joined Lee for his list, and proposed others they liked. The keys to innovation were discussed and delegates took a test evaluating their organization’s innovation quota.
