"Challenges for Training Software Testers

Set the criteria for hiring your internal testing team - or prepare your own software development team for a dose of independent validation and verification testing by understanding how a test team prepares to do its job. What can a contracting officer/product purchaser expect to learn from testing? This presentation will answer these questions and others.
