Inflection Points
Software testing was once so difficult that only humans could do it. A million people a year are clicking web pages, hand-crafting scripts that marry code with automation frameworks, and creating permutations of API calls. But, the craft of software testing is changing. Every aspect of software testing is changing. Software engineering is also changing, with software accelerating developers to build “more” and “faster”, and all that software needs to be tested. Software is soon generating software–ever more software that needs to be tested. Even the rates of these changes are accelerating. All this acceleration creates inflection points, points where jobs, quality, and the lives of humans will change dramatically. Jason has thought about this over a coffee or two and will walk through these upcoming inflection points that will soon impact your world of software testing and quality.
