Growing A Culture of Quality (And Making Testing Fun)

This is the podcast of The Scottish Testing Group.

In each episode we will talk to a key figure in the software quality industry about themselves and their thoughts on the whole field. Those guests will include QA Directors, Award-winning testers, Authors, renowned Quality Gurus, researchers into new technologies, Agilists, futurists, thinkers, do-ers, old hands, and rising new stars.

This series of conversations is intended to be a safe space where subjects can be explored in a curious and open-minded way, always remaining friends, no matter how controversial it may get. This will be an amicable and convivial learning experience for all parties, especially the listener.

The Scottish Testing Group was set up to connect those people working in the field of software and systems testing across Scotland. However, as software affects all of us globally anyone is welcome to join and contribute to the conversation. Networking, mutual support, education, and feeding our curiosity are the primary purpose of STG.

The music is The Beat of Nature by Lesfm, Olexy. Available on Spotify.
