Is Survival of the Fittest Only for the Fastest?

Video

Abstract

Test automation, continuous integration, pipelines… the need for speed increased exponentially over the last decade.

Applying Darwin’s theory, it is quite simple: only the fittest - in this case the fastest - will survive. Traditional, manual testers are like a rhinoceros… in danger of extinction.

But even these fast rages have their shortcomings, like the automation paradox or automation blindness.

In his presentation Wim explains why "slow" testing is still there and which survival techniques (like Transform to a no-sheep tester, Think glocally, Get a fika) you need as a manual tester.
