Track Talk F5

The Pursuit of Failure

Chris Armstrong

10:00 - 10:45 CEST Friday 6th June

As testers, we often seek balance: risk & quality, introvert & extrovert, holistic & granular, failure & success.

Throughout my twenty years in testing, I have had the longest relationship with failure. It has the power to demotivate, derail, break and end progress.

Is our identity as testers in finding bugs, in pointing out where things are incorrect, do we only bring negativity, are we diametrically opposed to developers in this saga called software development?

Having worked in software quality roles since 2004, Chris specialises in strategic test leadership. Through the years, he has worked with and led testing teams, and has learnt the skills needed to overcome many challenges faced by team leads and test managers. Chris is passionate about quality; people, processes, and products.

He is an active member of the global software testing community and co-host of both the popular podcast “Testing Peers” and the monthly YouTube stream “9 out of 10 Testers”. Chris loves to engage with new people – facilitating events and interesting discussions is his bag.

What you will learn

  1. Methods of reflection and retrospection to break a cycle of failure into success.
  2. The language that we use as testers has power.
  3. Awareness, movement and relevancy – software is ever evolving, and we need to change with and help to shape its future, without burning out.
