Talk 1: Rhian Lewis: Why Blockchain Projects Can Ever Only Be Agile
Blockchain technology came to the world's attention with Bitcoin and associated cryptocurrencies, but it is about far more than payments. Testers will soon need to rigorously evaluate new blockchain applications in fields ranging from supply chain management, automotive, manufacturing, insurance and fintech. But how do we test them - and how far does our responsiblity go?
In this talk, Rhian will focus on the challenges of testing a technology that is changing faster than every other open-source software.
