What really is the role of a tester? What activities can we perform on a daily basis, to help the company we work for achieve its goals? Should we focus only on finding and logging bugs? Or can we contribute with much, much more? Do we, as testers, see the whole picture, and are we as involved in the software development process as we could be? Do we shine and put in our best effort at work? In the opening Keynote of the conference „How Testers Add Value to the Organization. But also, to ourselves“, Corina will highlight how many activities we, as testers, can contribute and provide valuable input to. Our product experience, talent and our analytical thinking can help shape requirements, speed up delivery, improve customer experience or improve faulty processes. We can make a difference in how we achieve quality in an organization by getting more involved. And in turn, all of this will help in our personal development and in us being recognized as highly skilled, amazing professionals.
