The main reason to attend such conferen...Hi Jokin,<br /><br />The main reason to attend such conferences is that it will broaden your understanding of testing. Typically, testers concentrate on 2 or 3 types of testing (e.g. functional, performance, domain, risk-based, user/scenario, exploratory etc). Many of these types overlap, but generally each has its strengths but it also has weaknesses. By learning the different types of testing, you can bring your knowledge back to your work place and recommend new test strategies to overcome any weaknesses in the current testing strategy.<br /><br />You can learn the different types of testing (and test management*) by listening to the various sessions and key notes plus also by networking with other testers at the conference.<br /><br />Another positive is that these kinds of events tend to have a motivational effect on people.<br /><br />*test management – there is often a few sessions on test management – but my personal opinion is that test management is a piece of cake compared to actual testing.Andy Gloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11039399718174701518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551319643480633154.post-40515660300629963872010-11-23T13:07:37.571-08:002010-11-23T13:07:37.571-08:00As a Spaniard, I won't aply for that gold star...As a Spaniard, I won't aply for that gold star :] But I'll do my best to get there next year.<br />Andy, as a fellow tester, I would appreciate some bulletpoints to help me convince my boss about why I'm asking for cash to attend next years ExpoQA!<br /><br />So thanks for the time you spend telling stories, and looking forward to meet next year :]Jokin Aspiazuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12213044158717195204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551319643480633154.post-26547485785069190012010-11-23T05:54:16.868-08:002010-11-23T05:54:16.868-08:00I've made a small change to clarify :o)I've made a small change to clarify :o)Andy Gloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11039399718174701518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551319643480633154.post-51717334762953916762010-11-23T05:51:28.917-08:002010-11-23T05:51:28.917-08:00Good guess... two of your guesses are correct!
