Keynote Paul Gerrard Talks Testing

Navigating the Testing Landscape

with Keynote Paul Gerrard

Upcoming PNSQC 2020 Keynote Paul Gerrard has specialized in test strategy and assurance for nearly 30 years.

“I compare the tester to the navigator in a plane. The developer is the pilot. The pilot can’t fly without navigation support; the navigator can’t fly without the pilot,” he says.

In this interview, the software engineering consultant, author, and coach shares his thoughts on the biggest impacts to software over the years, his upcoming keynote, and his thoughts on the dreaded “Q” word.

Paul will be presenting at PNSQC this October 12-14, on "Rethinking Test Automation."

PNSQC Appreciation

“[PNSQC was] a very insightful and energizing conference. The sessions and keynotes were all very informative and enabled candid self-reflection on our own QE strategy and execution. As we continue our own journey with automation, we got some great tips from speakers on managing process, technical, and soft skills to achieve our goals.”
