Test Is Forever (A 4-Part UI Testing Webinar Series)
First introduced in 1950s, swiftly adopted and adapted across the world. Sometimes successful and insightful, lately regarded with some circumspection and sometimes considered a problematic legacy of its time, raising questions of how to make it more relevant and meaningful in a modern-day setting.
We're speaking, of course, about Software Testing and QA.
In this webinar series, we'll be talking about modern approaches to the discipline of testing, how to get more value from the practice, both from a company perspective and the practitioners themselves. With the right gadgets and a lot of ingenuity, we can elevate the slog of QA to something beneficial and affirming. We will see some examples using real world tools, like TestComplete, and problem sets.
