Abstract

In the past Olympics, we watched as Michael Phelps did something that no other Olympian had ever managed to accomplish. He won more gold medals than ever before. We spent weeks watching as he won gold medals time after time.

It’s easy for someone to imagine that athletes such as Phelps are born winners. It’s easy to think that it’s in their DNA to experience such greatness. What many fail to realize is that while Phelps showed us his master skills in swimming for a few weeks, he prepared for these events for many months and years. He spent day after day practicing, refining his techniques, modifying his strategies, and improving his results.

Being an expert tester is no different. While the art and craft of testing and being a thinking tester is something that is built within you, simply going to work every day and being a tester is not always enough. Each of us have the opportunity to become “gold medal testers” by practicing, studying, refining our skills, and building our craft.

In this presentation, we will evaluate extracurricular activities and practices that will enable you to grow from a good tester to a great tester.
