\u201cThe quality is connected to the risk, and the risk is connected to the testing. If we don\u2019t keep an eye on quality, our testing and development will drift, because we are no longer building the thing that people care about anymore."

Mark Winteringham is a quality engineer and the author of \u201cTesting Web APIs\u201d. In this episode, discover how holistic, risk-based testing strategies can transform your software quality. Mark explains how to prioritize our testing by understanding what users truly value and translating that into different risk-based testing strategies, such as testing API design, exploratory testing, automated testing, and acceptance test-driven design (ATDD). Mark also reveals the testing Venn diagram as our testing strategic roadmap. Finally, get a glimpse of Mark\u2019s upcoming book \u201cAI-Assisted Testing\u201d and learn how AI will evolve the roles of testers and developers. \xa0
