Leslie Butler
Senior SDET
Prudential

I am a QA professional with nearly 10 years’ experience in various industries including Financial Services, Facilities Management, Travel and Talent Acquisition. From early days in manual testing I went on to set up and manage a QA function from the ground up, defining QA standards and processes, and building a brand new and what became a high performing offshore team. Passionate about QA and Testing, I thrive to embed Quality Engineering into the entire software delivery cycle, evaluating ever evolving industry trends and adapting them to business needs.
I currently work as a Senior SDET for Prudential.

Integrating and optimising your offshore team

Most of us have experienced working with offshore testing teams, either in-house or working with testing partners. During this workshop we will define what an efficient, high performing and motivated offshore team looks like. We will share our experiences of offshore testing and explore how, as leaders, we can influence a successful integration of offshore resources. Finally, in the context of Agile, DevOps and ‘Shift left’ methodologies, as we break the silos between testing and other key teams in order to embed QA at every stage in a delivery process, we ask: What does the future of offshore testing look like?
