Software Testing Clinic: What is Testing?

The Software Testing Clinic is a safe environment for anybody who wants to learn about software testing and enhance their testing skills. SWTC offers monthly evening sessions for anybody interested in the testing craft; they are run in an interactive way using whiteboard sessions, hands-on exercises and discussions with the whole group as well as in sub teams to deepen our understanding of software testing. You are led through the evening by a team of hosts, supported by more experienced testers who can use and enhance their mentoring skills. In this first session of the curriculum we'll cover what testing is and what testers do, and will look into misconceptions of software testing and how to overcome them.
