Testing Career

I spoke (for the very first time externally) at The London Web meet up on Thurs 15th Oct.
I covered how my career in has panned out after starting in Software Testing 5 years ago, and the skills that Testing helped me develop. I also included other popular career paths for Testers, both inside and outside Testing.
