Testing Voices '21 keynote: Testing Becoming Harder To BeValuable
The document discusses challenges that testers face as development practices have become more agile. Specifically, it notes that the cost of fixing defects is lower under agile but the cost of overengineering has increased. It also suggests that testers should get involved earlier, collaborate more with developers, and focus on learning and teaching skills rather than just finding bugs. Automation is important but must be integrated into continuous integration practices. The document advocates for techniques like holding space, telling stories of early value, and focusing communications on business needs rather than just the team.
