Testing in startups - Adding value by testing business hypotheses

Hosted by Benjamin Wirtz of Unifyo

The idea of testing business hypotheses before spending loads of time on developing a product which then fails in the market, has been long evangelised - most recently by the Lean Startup movement. Software testers have the right mindset and skills to add value in the very early stages of a startup, but are often mistaken as the "Health and safety of software", which slow down product development.

This event is about exploring how testers can add value to startups at early stages, discussing both startup challenges and tester skills. It will provide attendees with a fresh perspective and make hiring decisions more informed.

We also hope that attendees will share their own insights and hope lasting-relationships and exchange between the tester and startup community will flourish from the event.
