In this episode I interviewed Eric Proegler, an expert in performance testing and test management as well as the president of the Association for Software Testing(https://www.associationforsoftwaretesting.org/).

Highlights:

• How certain industry's systems are tested like contact tracing apps for COVID-19 or aircraft software(think the Boeing 737 MAX disaster)

• Software quality certifications: When are they needed and are they really useful?

• Test documentation, context-driven testing, test automation vs manual testing.

• How Eric discovered he'd rather be a software tester than a developer

• A super important skill for testers: learning how to disagree politely
