CODING JAG - Issue 95

Welcome to the 95th edition of Coding Jag brought to you by LambdaTest!👐

As software gets more complex, everyone's focus on building quality software has taken the front seat.

It is not often that one gets a chance to rub shoulders with legends. Team LambdaTest was lucky enough to interview not one but two legends. Michael Bolton, the famed testing evangelist and co-developer of Rapid Software Testing, and Dorothy Graham, the popular speaker and founding member of the ISEB Software Testing Board, graced our booth during the EuroSTAR '22 conference in Copenhagen to talk about everything testing.

Michael spoke at length about his take on the craft of testing while Dorothy delved into how she went about building her career, and also crystal gazed into what the future holds for testers. So dig in, dear readers! Bon appetit!
