Original Software: Is there a better way to test manually?Original Software's CEO George Wilson, and Senior Solutions ConsultantJonathan Pearson will give attendees some ideas about how to ensure manual testing is efficient and productive, and offer tips to help both IT and business users easily perform both scripted and exploratory test.

Epicentre: Hypothesis Based Testing (HBT) - a unique approach to improve defect detectionT Ashok, CEO of STAG Software will introduce TestExpo attendees to Hypothesis Based Testing (HBT) - a scientific and personal test methodology based around the identification of software 'cleanliness' criteria and the potential defect types that can impede these criteria.
