Talk Description
We like to keep trying new things at Ministry of Testing, especially at our TestBash events, at Test.bash(); this year that thing was a panel, but not your traditional panel! We took the ask me anything format so that we drew a variety of questions but we also only gave the speakers 99 seconds to answer!
The format worked really well, our speakers on this occasion were Simon Stewart, Shasikant Jagtap, Abby Bangser, Jit Gosai, Matthew Bretten and Hilary Weaver-Robb. Some great questions were asked and they were met with even better answers, this is a must watch!
By the end of this session, you'll be able to:

Matthew has been testing software for 7 years, starting as a video games tester and is currently a Test Team Lead. Having graduated in Computer Games Technology, he originally wanted to become a developer but quickly discovered a deep passion for testing. His career has followed the trend of the software industry, going from testing a long distance away from developers and code to pairing with developers and helping them test as they write code. Along the way he has gained a great variety of experience testing telephony exchanges, analytics systems, websites, video games (including motion controls, 3DTVs, augmented reality) and mobile apps.
Through this background in computer science and his experience as a tester, Matthew is keen to help breakdown technical subjects and jargon for testers and expand their arsenal of test techniques!
