Why do we miss bugs that seem obvious in hindsight? How do our cognitive biases impact the way we test software?

In this free session, we’ll explore the psychological side of software testing, including:

• How human bias and mental models influence QA work
• Patterns and shortcuts testers often use – and how they affect outcomes
• Reasons why bugs go unnoticed, even by experienced professionals
• Practical testing strategies to improve defect detection
