About the Session

In the Weekend Testing Europe (WTEU) session WTEU-73, participants introduced themselves, sharing their diverse paths into testing. Many transitioned from other roles, such as customer support, development, or even graphic design, discovering testing through hands-on experience or job shifts. Discussions included the value of certifications like ISTQB and the challenges of remote work.

Participants reflected on how testing can seem like a “dark art” due to its lack of formal education pathways and how certifications often serve as mere checkboxes rather than comprehensive skill-building tools. The session emphasized the need for practical skills over formal qualifications and the value of communication and problem-solving in testing.(Written by AI)
