Summary

Breakpoint 2020 is a virtual summit on testing featuring speakers from top dev and QA teams discussing building QA processes, automating at scale, and best practices for success with tools and frameworks. Alan Richardson, also known as 'Evil Tester,' consults, coaches, and mentors teams to improve their testing and software development quality. He advocates 'evil testing,' a blend of skill, attitude, and pragmatism that challenges assumptions and encourages pushing boundaries in testing. In his session for Breakpoint 2020, Richardson will discuss thinking differently about automated testing, using real-world examples to illustrate his points. He has authored three books: 'Java For Testers,' 'Automating and Testing a REST API,' and 'Dear Evil Tester.' Currently, he is working on a model-based REST API generator called "The Thingifier." Richardson advises new testers to get hands-on experience, take notes, learn from various resources, and practice regularly.
