Session - Testing as a Mindset, not a Role!

Speaker - Sukanya Santhanakrishnan

Session Overview -

Many still think testing is simple or repetitive—something anyone can do. But true testing requires curiosity, critical thinking, domain understanding, and powerful communication. It’s not about clicking through screens; it’s about protecting user experience, business goals, and product integrity.

In this session, Sukanya will guide us through the essential shift: from seeing testing as a task to embracing it as a mindset. Regardless of whether it’s manual, automated, or AI-driven—great testing is built on core principles that technology alone cannot replace.

Key Takeaways

• Testing is where curiosity meets quality

• Ask questions - lots of them

• Practice testing as a mindset, not a task

• Master fundamentals instead of chasing every trend
• Share your knowledge and strengthen the community
