Notes on the Keynotes
summary
Claim: the future of testing is already here and it advances by active learning and sharing via experience reports, not theory alone. Concrete tools mentioned include an ISTQB online course delivered 20 times and the Weekend Tester format for hands-on practice. A bold reduction splits schools into “skills matter” versus “don’t care,” and the surprising metric is persistence — build, run, repeat — backed by actionable advice like triple your learning to double your income. Open engagement with standards and positive advocacy is urged.
