About this episode

In this AMA Session on “The notion of quality and the notion of failure”, we hosted the amazing Isabel Evans (Independent Testing Consultant and Practitioner). Isabel took questions about quality and failure, drawing on her experiences of several decades working with people, processes, improvement, and techniques. That included questions and discussion around her research into people’s experiences using tools to support testing.
