As organizations face increasing pressure to release quickly, launches often comes at the expense of thorough testing. Blind spots in the development process can result in costly errors and a diminished user experience, yet teams often fail to achieve alignment around software testing priorities.
Michael Bolton, a renowned expert in software testing, discusses the evolution of digital quality. He introduces the "Four Frames of Testing" to move beyond requirements checklists and uncover real business risks. We also discuss AI's impact on QA, the changing tester role, and questioning "best practices." Michael also shares insights from his upcoming book as well as his blog, in which he advocates for an investigative approach to software testing.
