“As the software world grows to be more complex by the day, so do the trends in the testing world. The systems around us getting more and more interwoven, with the advances in technology, the best we can do as testers is to keep learning and advancing. It does seem like a lot of hard work so it is important to take a breath and refresh. For 4 years now Agile Testing Alliance has been bringing to us the perfect platform for us to learn and have fun.”
