Why Didn't You Test That? In this episode, Rich Jordan and James Walker are joined by special guest Daniel Nilsson, Co-Founder of Test Scouts AB! Together, they emphasise the importance of a tester's toolbox, particularly their skills and abilities, in working with AI. One of the key strengths testers bring is the ability to ask critical questions, whether it's about software, requirements, data sets, or ideas. For example, in projects involving autonomous vehicles, collecting accurate and comprehensive data is crucial, as mistakes in data collection can be costly. Testers need to challenge and evaluate data sets from the beginning to ensure they are representative, include corner cases, and minimize bias. This issue of properly preparing data sets has long been a challenge, especially for testers.

On 21-24 May, Nordic Game celebrates its 20th anniversary, making the conference one of the longest existing of its kind in the global games industry. That calls for celebrations, but also for reflection. And who would be better at both than Nordic Game founder and managing director Erik Robertson? Here are his answers to our most burning anniversary questions. Nordic Game: Reflecting on your journey as the founder of Nordic Game the famous game industry conference brand that has endured for 20 years across four Nordic countries, could you share the genesis of the idea? What inspired you to embark on this venture, and did you envision its longevity and success from the outset, or has it exceeded your initial expectations? Erik Robertson: I saw the potential at a Swedish public games event around 2000 that also had a tiny conference and B2B section, but it did not continue. So, in parallel with my survey of Nordic games for the Nordic Council of Ministers, I also worked on building interest for a Nordic-level professional game developer conference, that we then launched in 2003. I remember at our premiere event asking a dear friend in the Malmö industry if he thought it was viable to build it into one of the very top developer conferences in Europe within, say, five years. He said no. And he was right. Read the rest of the interview...   https://lnkd.in/dc7NfHRN Want to be part of Nordic Game 20 Jubilee?
