Why We Should Focus More On Quality Engineering And Less About Testing

Let’s Focus More On Quality Engineering And Less About Testing

What value do we provide as testers? The short answer is that testing has no value in itself, testing is a service we provide to our teams so that our company can deliver value-adding products or services.

Nowadays, due in part to the evolution of development practices and in part due to the adoption of new technologies, engineers who used to “only” test can now expand their value towards Quality Engineering in the broader sense of the word.

In this talk Joel briefly reviews the forces pushing forward the changes in the way we create and deliver products today. We will map the way a traditional tester might fit into this new reality and expand her activities, roles and responsibilities. Then we will explore the value these additional responsibilities can provide to our organizations as we actively take on the role of Quality Engineers.
