Rapid Software Testing: Explored – Live and In Person!

Why do we test? We test to fulfill the fundamental mission of testing: helping the business to keep value high, cost low, and trouble to a minimum by finding problems quickly — before it’s too late.

Rapid Software Testing returns to Christchurch as Potentia and Resourcefully organize a three-day live presentation of Rapid Software Testing Explored.

About the Class

This unique class introduces Rapid Software Testing — a context-driven methodology for testing any product that includes or involves software. Through hands-on activities and interactive discussion, we challenge assumptions and expose common misconceptions about software testing. Then we show you powerful new ways to think, to apply heuristic models, and to test responsibly and systematically, so that you can focus on business risk and do the right kinds of deep testing that your project needs.

These days, it’s widely acknowledged that testing isn’t for testers only, and neither is this class. This class is for testers, developers, managers, operations people, or customer service folk — anyone and everyone who tests software, or who works with testers as a client of testing work.
