I was selected for EuroSTAR, Europe’s leading software testing conference, to give one of the presentations on ‘The Future of Testing’, the theme of the 2008 conference. Of course, as we all know, predicting the future can be considered to be extremely easy. Anything goes; you can’t be proven wrong in 2008. But I love a challenge.
I can, of course, be proven wrong in ten years from now, so please stock this paper in your personal file and send me a mail in 2018 of how wrong I was – or maybe how right I was and especially how successful you are by that time and what you are doing.
Because this is what I predict: We, test managers of today, will be able to move up in the business hierarchy and eventual reach influence in board room decisions.
