PLATO Panel Talks

While we learn a lot from discussions of tools, concepts, and processes at PLATO Panel Talks, we think some of the best lessons come from being out in the wilds of testing and sharing the stories of our experiences with each other. So, our host Mike Hrycyk is calling in with a few of his software testing friends and asking them to share their stories from being out in the field of software testing and their lessons learned.

The more information we have, the better decisions we can make. That's as true in testing as it is in life, and on this episode, we are talking how teams capture that information: metrics. Join host Mike Hrycyk, along with Sean Wilson of Ubisoft and PLATO's Jonathan Duncan, as they break down which metrics really matter for the team and which ones your stakeholders will be looking at to make business decisions.
