Overview

This seminar turns testers and developers into quality architects – the adult in the room who sees testing as a risk-coverage investment, designs the right tests, knows what they cost, and speaks to leadership in terms of risk and money. It also covers the new economics and risks that come with AI. There are people who write test scripts. and there are people the organization turns to when it needs to know: Are we testing the right things? Are we spending too much? Too little? Are we covering the right risks for the right price? This seminar is for the second kind – or for anyone who wants to become that person. Every test has a cost and every test covers a risk. Your job isn’t to write more tests. It’s to make smarter testing investments. After this day, you’ll see dollar signs when you look at a test suite.

Who Should Attend

Testers, automation engineers, developers who write tests, team leads and anyone who wants their next conversation about testing to be strategic, not technical.
