Rethinking Our Job as Software Testers: We Should Try to Test as Little as Possible Rethinking Our Job as Software Testers: We Should Try to Test as Little as Possible

DevOps transforms testing from finding all bugs to prioritizing critical ones. Risk assessment helps testers focus on high-impact areas. Testing can be pre-release (critical issues), post-release (resolvable issues), or out-of-scope (low-impact). Testing should align with business goals and user stories. Data science helps measure and improve software quality.
