Pandora's box is open. Crowd testing is amongst us. But what does this mean to us as New Zealand test professionals? Does it assist us or a replace us? How has it, and how will it, change our working lives? 12 months since first being asked to considered crowd testing, and 4 months since launching Assurity's Crowd Testing Service, Simon revisits these questions, the nature of crowd testing, and meta-trends driving it.

Please pay $5 at the door (cash only). ITP members and non-members welcome.

The presentation will be followed by a networking session with drinks and nibbles provided by Test Professionals Network, with a seasonal flavour as this is our last gathering for the year.

About The Speaker

If Simon's career was a three-act play, we're now starting the third. First, his years as a Tester, Test Manager, Technical Tester and Pre-Sales Engineer for Testing Tools. Second, as our Head of Community and graduate of a One Planet MBA from the University of Exeter. Third, Simon is combining his deep and practical understanding of testers and the process of software testing with the EQ of servant leadership and disruptive business acumen taught on his MBA. The resulting digital platforms will delight clients undergoing digital transformation and challenge ideas of who is a client, what is testing, who is a tester and what's the value generated.

Simon's career highlights include:

  • One Planet MBA Student University of Exeter
  • Head of Community Assurity Consulting
  • Pre-Sales Engineer Assurity Consulting
  • Performance Tester Hyosung Information Systems

      

TPN wishes to thank Assurity for sponsoring the refreshments.
