KEYNOTE: Testing: The Next Generation
summary
Claims a concrete training system: a test team rebuilt from four seniors and four juniors, regular one-on-ones and pairing plus fortnightly learning sessions, and a measurable outcome where two months experience plus coaching means two thirds pick up testing and advance. Offers hands-on exercises (signup form, number-guessing game), a learning playground at testsheet.github.io, recurring FedEx-style experiment days, and a growth ladder tied to pay so trained skills actually get used and rewarded.
