What we’re about
In March 2023, the very first testpedition took place in the Netherlands. Four testpeditions and lots of positive feedback later, i look forward to taking the concept of a testpedition to the next level.
A testpedition is an accessible event consisting of two parties. The testpeditionists and the testpedition host.
As a testpeditionist you will visit other companies and learn from the challenges they face. You engage in discussions with other test professionals and meet lots of friendly and highly motivated people. You encounter real world testing problems and use your experience and/or fresh ideas to help solve these.
As a testpedition host you open your company’s doors to the world and showcase the testing challenges you face. In return you receive lots of feedback on your challenges from different angles and often new perspectives as well.
A testpedition is a win-win event, it usually consists of:
– An opening and welcome by the testpedition host
– The presenting & discussing challenges
– An informal gathering such as a lunch or beer & bites
– An interactive session to really get the blood pumping (A brainstorm or a workshop)
– A retrospective of the testpedition and the sharing of slides, ideas and exchanging contact details.
My idea is to create a global platform on which companies are able to host testpeditions and testpeditionists are able to join them. Also add the lessons learned to an archive which is freely available to all visitors of the site, the testpedition knowledge bank.
