The idea is to share highlights of my testing career journey from where I started to where I am right now. It showcases that testing is not merely a task that you tick in the box, instead, it is holistic, influenced by colleagues, industry, community, culture, technology, trend, experience, revolving around the essence of quality. The takeaway I would love to give, is inspiration and encouragement to how quality should be cared for in the industry, which is not solely the responsibility of the testing experts, instead, should be championed by them.
