SANAE Software Testing BEER.EX 2023
It has been more than twenty years since the Agile Manifesto saw the light of day formulating the notoriously known four statements about the value. The authors expressed that there is something more valuable than processes, documentation, contracts, and plans. The mission of SANAE Software Testing BEER.EX 2023 was to (Re)discover the value in testing.
The conference took place on the 8th and 9th of November in Bratislava, Slovakia as part of the ISTQB® Conference Network. The first day offered keynotes by Corina Pip and Kari Kakkonen, and two tracks of talks focused on finding and increasing the value of the tester within the team, project, or company as a whole.
The Technical track offered insights into the latest technological trends and tools in software testing. In the Inspiration track, attendees got a lot of ideas about the personal development possibilities for testers and test teams to not miss a technology train. The second conference day was dedicated to three tracks of workshops covering both technical and managerial topics. Notable examples are the test analysis workshop with Ard Kramer, Robot Framework with David Fogl, and Geospatial Data testing with Mateusz Adamczak and Michal Pilarski.
We would like to thank all the speakers, partners, and attendees for their contribution and enthusiasm that helped make the SANAE Software testing BEER.EX such an extraordinary event. Those who missed it (and not only those) can enjoy a little bit of it in the video below.
