What is the future of a QA who has expertise in functional testing ?
By Nidhi Sant Ram - March 1, 20161 Answer

I really wonder what's in store for functional QA. Normally engineers who don't have much interest in coding get into  QA as a functional tester. But down the line is this enough? Can they grow in their career with this expertise?

Hello, I'm trying to find some articles/POV's to a centralized testing team (vs. around the global) suggestions?
By Tracy Sailors - February 19, 20161 Answer

I work at a large company that has testing function in each geography, while the HQ is in the US (part of this is managing virtual teams).  The research I'm looking into is whether or not it is beneficial to create a centralized testing team (separate from QM/QA - this testing is completed by the cross-funtional business end-users) at the HQ that would provide status updates/metrics to the cross-funtional business end-users.

what do you think will be the trending technologies in the software testing industry in 2016?
By Ann MacKenzie - January 29, 20161 Answer

I've done a little research and came up with two links that offer some insight in this $34B industry! 

http://www.thinksys.com/blog/software-testing-trends-that-will-rock-2016/, which says that "the role of Automation is to support the testers and not to replace them. " That article also states that "Nelson Hall predicts that by 2017, the software testing market size will be $34 Billion." And https://www.quora.com/What-is-latest-technology-trends-in-Software-testing, which mentions: "Independent Software testing (trending): With increased focus on QA, many businesses are relying on specialist QA organizations to provide testing services. This is largely due to the expertise that specialist QA organizations bring to the table, including TCoE capability. Hence partnering with them helps the business to circumvent the pain of finding skilled QA resources and setting up a mature QA, both in terms of process and technology."
