Christina Erring

Lights, camera, testing! Have you ever watched a movie and thought “if they had only done a little more testing, then the whole disaster could have been avoided”? In movies, the suspense and last-minute decisions make a great plot point and an exciting cinematic experience - you know those action movies where the hero jumps over obstacles, defuses bombs, and saves the day without breaking a sweat? Well, in real life and most cases, we can't just jump over the testing and hope for the best. In this entertaining and informative presentation, we look into how pop culture references Quality Engineering and how it is used, or more often not used to create suspense. We draw parallels between real projects scenarios and Hollywood testing plots concerning Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Security and more; sharing our experiences, including bloopers, reshoots and the perfect one-takes. This is how we save the world!
