Beyond Testers: Rethinking Quality in Software Development with Elisabeth Hendrickson

Quality Bits

Does a separate QA department help or hurdle the company's road towards quality? What about people having titles with "quality" in it: does it aid to drive change in the company or the opposite? Can there be a high-quality product without dedicated testers?
In this episode of Quality Bits, Lina talks to the author of "Explore it!" Elisabeth Hendrickson. They debunk many myths of what a high-quality product development and testing actually is. Tune in to hear more about why testers may be on a verge of a role revolution, the power of a whole team testing approach, and so much more.
