Tech Talk with Amit & Rinat – Episode 026 – Rapid Software Testing

Software is everywhere. And good quality software has become very important and sometimes even critical as well. But with rapid progress in development cycle, testers don’t often get enough time to test software. What if there is a better way to test software without compromising quality, which is more focused and which can be completed rapidly.

In this week’s #TechTalk, Amit and Rinat talk with Michael Bolton, co-author (with James Bach) of Rapid Software Testing (RST), about software testing, context driven testing, Rapid Software Testing, and a lot more!

Michael Bolton – Worlds in Collision (keynote at ConTEST 2021)

Listen to Michael Bolton at ConTEST 2021. What happens when builders and testers work together to develop GUI testing infrastructure?

In this keynote, Michael will give a preliminary experience report on observing, working, and collaborating with an expert tester (James Bach, co-author of Rapid Software Testing) — and an expert automator, Michael Mintz (author of Selenium Base) on a testing and learning mission.

The story is ongoing, and only beginning, but already we’re learning about key differences between world views and mind sets, and how we might go about resolving them. Check out online programs at Test Masters Academy: https://testmasters
