Approaches to Software Testing and Quality: In Collaboration with Lhasa

For our April Software Crafters Leeds meetup Codurance is delighted to partner up with the team at Lhasa to discuss approaches to software testing and quality!

** NOTE: This event will take place at Lhasa’s office at Granary Wharf House, 2 Canal Wharf, Holbeck, Leeds LS11 5PS

This event promises an evening of engaging discussions, knowledge sharing, and networking opportunities focused on the critical theme of software testing and quality. We hope you’ll come away with some new ideas to tackle your most pressing challenges and find a path to improving quality within your own organisation.

Format
Rather than formal presentations, we are giving everyone attending an opportunity to shape the agenda to focus on your preferences. Our event will therefore be run “unconference” style where you’ll be given the chance to co-create the topics to be discussed. The overall theme will be “Software Testing and Quality” and here are some ideas to get you started:

• Do we still need testers?
• What is TDD and how can it help my team?
• Is there a role for AI in testing?
• Who is responsible for quality?
• Shift Left testing- what is that and how far should we shift?

If you’d like to share your ideas before the event you may do so by filling in this form.
