We test software to get the information we need to reduce risk and create better software. But how do we know we're gathering the right information and focusing on the biggest risks? Strategic testers know. Strategic testers can:

• Establish a charter with the stakeholders that guides the test effort
• Discover what needs to be tested by exploring the software under test
• Analyze software from multiple perspectives
• Choose which tests to run at any given time
• Write just the right level of test documentation for their context

Strategic Testers find important problems—problems that matter to stakeholders—quickly. They counsel stakeholders on risks and provide valuable information through all stages of a project. In this interactive, hands-on workshop, participants will learn what it takes to be a Strategic Tester.
