The Seven Deadly Sins of Software Testing

Many smart, otherwise-capable testers sabotage their own careers by committing one or more of the deadly sins of testing: irrelevance/redundancy, ignorance of relevant skills or facts, obstructionism, adversarialism, nit-picking, blindness to project/organizational priorities, and last-moment-ism. Are you your own worst enemy? Join Rex Black to discuss these seven deadly sins. You might recognize your own behaviors—or behaviors of others on your test team. Using examples of these behaviors through case studies, Rex tells you how to stop the behaviors and solve the problems they have created. For both sinners and non-sinners alike, Rex offers ideas on how to become a testing saint.
