Rick Tracy: The Future Fo(u)r Testers
summary
Testing is too full to be one job so the claim is to split work into four specialist roles to get better results and less burnout. Proposed roles are test architect who builds trustworthy environments and risk criteria, enhancement specialist who consolidates and speeds up tests, test engineer who writes automation and integrates tooling, and test analyst who produces actionable reports. Advice includes how to sell these roles by showing what isn’t being delivered today.
