Session details

Life isn’t all rainbows, unicorns or idealistic LinkedIn success stories. Sometimes things go south. Come to the Discomfort Zone to discuss taboo topics with Riki Fridrich and Jana Vítek. This session dives into:

  • For years, our testers have been dealing with the same misconception: They are lagging behind developers. 
  • What should testers do to avoid being perceived as an inferior position that delays every project?
