Michael “TestHead” Larsen joined us for a long, long conversation about how you can become a great software tester and how his own career developed through ups and downs, turns and twists (no pun intended) to arrive at his current level of genuine guru. Michael is generous enough to share his pointers and advice about tester self-awareness and several modern-day resources to help you in your software testing career.
