State of Testing 2016 Report

State of Testing 2016 Report is out now! The report is based upon a survey done by over a 1,000 professionals from 61 countries! A lot is happening in the testing profession, as tea-time with testers state in their mail:” Many changes are taking place around us. Technology is advancing at a head-spinning pace. The accelerating pace of development is making our work more challenging than ever. And overall we are seeing a more serious approach towards quality and testing in our work-ecosystem.”

But if you want more information, drill down to the details by reading the State of testing report yourself…. learn e.g.

• what testers are doing beside checking the code,
• what skills they think they need and
• what tools they use
• how they keep up to date with all that is happening in IT and testing.
• and many more..
