Test Delivery: from Digital Transformation to Open Blockchain programmes

How do you approach testing on a digital programme with legacy architectural stack?

How do you test when the entire technological stack sits on the cloud?

How do you test on the open blockchain using a peer to peer network?

From tech startups to big banks to blockchain, the approach to delivering testing services should be tailored to suit the needs of the programme. Strategy, techniques, tools, automation and non functional testing will be covered in this talk.
