This webinar was created after an invitation from QASymphony.

The basic blurb was as follows:

"When we test our systems, we very often use business risk to prioritize and guide our testing. But there are so many more ways of modeling risk. If business risk is our only risk model then we ignore technology risks, and the risks that our processes themselves are adding to our project. Ignoring technical risk means that we don't improve our technical skills to allow us to model, observe and manipulate our systems at deeper levels and we miss finding important non-obvious problems. Too often people mistakenly equate 'technical testing' with automating because they don't model technical risk. In this webinar we'll explain how to model risk and us that to push our testing further. We'll also explain how to avoid some of the pitfalls people fall into while improving their technical testing."

The traditional set of 'you will learn' bullets:

Understand what technical testing means - it doesn't mean programming and automating
Understand the benefits you gain from increasing your exploratory and technical testing
What risks you are exposed to if you don't use Technical and Exploratory Testing.
How to model and target risk from a technical perspective
How to make your testing more technical without impacting your project
How can non-technical managers can help their testers develop technical skills and improve their technical testing

The live webinar was recorded and is available to watch free, after registering on the QA Symphony web site:

pi.qasymphony.com/risk-mitigation-using-exploraotory-and-technical-testing

The webinar was recorded over a phone so the audio is not as good as the live recording contained in this "Evil Tester Talks" course. Also the live recording here contains a web cam insert so you can see me talking, and not just the slides. And I edited a few gaps out of the recording here so it is 'tighter'.

I created a page on CompendiumDev.co.uk which describes the webinar:

compendiumdev.co.uk/page/riskwebinar

The above page contains:

links to the slides on slideshare
An expanded set of speaker notes (This is not a transcript, the transcript has much more detail)

Webinar attendees were given a page which contained:

A mindmap of the talk (pdf)(freemind)
Bonus Slides with notes

The above are included in the Slides, Transcripts & Exercises lecture.
