QA in London

Give a seasoned tester a spec for a meaty new feature and they will sharply and confidently devise a mental test plan from analysis or presumption of acceptance criteria, present it, execute it, and provide the results. However, give them a job spec, and in my years of experience as an interviewer and interviewee, things are very different.

The aim of this talk is to convince you that they are not at all different, and in fact it is precisely seasoned software testing skills that are directly reusable to help find or be the right candidate for the right job. Imagine interviewees using exploratory methods, or interviewers running regression tests..
