“Shallow is not an insult. Deep is not necessarily a compliment,” says our guest Michael Bolton. He would teach us how to make the shallow deeper and deep cheaper. In the second half, you can get to learn a lot about distributed testing infrastructure from Sneha. The what, how, and why are best explained with stringing examples here at our Masterclass #3. Check it out.
Our guests on this episode:
We have two exalted presenters from the testing arena here to share their incredible knowledge. Our first guest speaker is Michael Bolton, a Rapid Software Testing consultant, teacher, and co-author DevelopSense. He would illuminate a vivid concept called deep and shallow testing for us. Next, we have Sneha Viswalingam, Staff Test Automation Engineer, ZOLL Medical Corporation, for the other half of the session. She would be highlighting the distributed testing infrastructure and different tools in the discipline.
