OnlineTestConf: A Key Resource in Our QA Transformation Journey
Discovering Quality Education Resources
While working through our QA transformation at Miami, one of the resources I discovered has been particularly valuable for my professional development. Sometimes the best learning opportunities come from unexpected places.
Virtual Conferences: Ahead of Their Time
Virtual conferences aren’t a new thing anymore, especially since the pandemic pushed everyone into remote work. But there’s one group that saw the potential early - OnlineTestConf has been running their conferences fully online since 2016, way before it became the norm.
They don’t just do this once a year either. They decided semi-annually is the best approach, which means more opportunities for continuous learning. This May marked their 10th OnlineTestConf!
Get Training Without Going Anywhere
OnlineTestConf solved several challenges we were facing:
- Budget-friendly: No travel costs meant we could invest more in team attendance
- Time-efficient: Team members could attend sessions without days away from work
- Flexible learning: Sessions could be referenced later when implementing new practices
- Real-world focus: Speakers shared practical experiences, not just theory
I’ve been watching their online conference sessions for a few years now, and they’re consistently high quality. The sessions continue to provide valuable insights for teams working to improve their testing practices.
Making Professional Development Accessible
One of our biggest wins in the QA transformation has been making learning accessible to the entire team. OnlineTestConf became a cornerstone of our education strategy, providing exposure to industry best practices that our developers hadn’t encountered before.
So head on over to OnlineTestConf and let me know what you think. I just signed up and think you should check it out too.
