Taking Testing Seriously — A Panel Discussion

Location: Online (North American Time Zones)
Date: Dec 18, 2025

Slide for Quality Talks Season 7

Quality Talks Season 7 happens on December 18 at 11h30 Eastern Time in North America, 17h30 Central European time, and their equivalents around the world. It’s sponsored by Accenture QES.

The topic will be Taking Testing Seriously — which, by no small coincidence, is the name of the book written by James Bach and Michael Bolton. We’ll be on the panel, and Lalitkumar Bhamare, who contributed to the book, will host.

I’m delighted that we’ll be joined by Karen N. Johnson, who contributed a chapter, and by Maaike Brinkhof, who also practices and advocates for context-driven testing.
