Testing as a profession has evolved in the national IT landscape always in the shadow of the more “good-looking” relative – SW Development. As everything IT-related is in a continuous shift, always changing and, hopefully, improving- so has the Testing profession, with different responsibilities and hectic tasks. Testing is far from the classic divide between Manual and Automatic, coming to include business oriented roles as the ones of Defect manager, Interface Owner or Test Manager. Let’s dive right into some of these hot topics starting with the wide array of Test Academy/ Test Reskilling programs and the emerging Test Managers challenges.
