"The Problem With Testing"
summary
Job listings emphasize tools and languages while missing the actual craft: testing is not a checkbox or cookbook but a set of skills learned before automation. The talk claims teams lose value by hiring for frameworks instead of judgment and lists concrete habits: ask questions, stay observant, put yourself in the user’s place, be adaptable, learn to detect patterns, push back politely, document anomalies, and share the ideas you learn so tools can later amplify effective testing.
