EuroSTAR Conference

Europe's Largest Quality Engineering Conference

Keynote 3

The Center Left: Testing Software in the Age of Transformation

Keith Klain

09:00-10:00 Thursday 13th June

Ten years ago, I gave a keynote at EuroSTAR on how to overcome organisational bias against the value of software testing. Despite all the advancement in process and technology, our business still struggles with its value proposition and sense of itself.

Through this talk I’ll discuss the principles and practices I’ve employed to successfully sell testing services and manage high performing teams. I’ll also walk through case studies of what has worked when talking about testing and what it can and cannot do for your business.

What you will learn

  1. What worked & what didn't when trying to get software testing valued at an organization, and how to fit actionable plans into enterprise transformation
  2. How to help make testing relevant to people by meeting them where they are, & speaking about our business in a way that doesn’t comprise integrity, while still moving things forward
  3. Principles and practices, and their relevant sources that have helped me gain trust and respect from my clients in delivering critical high risk programmes
