The document discusses the future of testing and the role of quality analysts. It describes how user interfaces, graphics, games, and portable devices have evolved over time from the past to present and will continue to change in the future. This evolution will impact the testing perspective and require test automation, continuous integration, and new test frameworks. The role of quality analysts may involve different activities like product testing, consulting, and coaching in both co-located and distributed teams. The future of quality analysts is envisioned to be creative and involve making ideas into reality.
