This document discusses the concept of "Software Testing 2.0", which focuses on freedom of choice and creating value. It emphasizes that the best approaches, skills, techniques and tools depend highly on context factors like business area, technology, team, etc. Rather than following rigid methodologies or best practices, testers should feel free to choose whatever combination works best for their specific situation. The goal is to continuously optimize value creation.
