Rapid Software Testing Explored – In-Person Public Class!

Location: Helsinki, Finland
Date: Mar 4, 2024 to Mar 6, 2024

After a sold-out Rapid Software Testing Explored class in 2023, Hidden Trail is hosting another!

Register Here

Rapid Software Testing Explored (RSTE) is a three-day live workshop that explores and explains the Rapid Software Testing methodology. Through hands-on activities, exercises, and interactive discussion, we challenge assumptions and expose common misconceptions about testing practices. Then we show you clear and powerful ways to think about testing that allow you to test responsibly and systematically, so that you focus on business risk and do the deep testing that your project needs.

Read details about the class.

This course is for testers, developers, project and business leads — anyone who tests, or works with testers.

RST Explored is the latest version of the original class formerly called “Rapid Software Testing.” The class is designed for new and experienced testers alike. Find out about the other RST Courses on offer — including the new Rapid Software Testing Focused: Automation class.

For detailed information about location and pricing, and to register for the class, visit the Hidden Trail store.
