Abstract
If we stop and look back at events that are shaping IT, the pace of change is amazing. Things are so different now, even if we just consider the last 5 years. Projects using, for example, artificial intelligence or Internet of Things are no longer “over the horizon”; they are reality.
Testing needs to keep moving with the times even more than in the past. It needs to face the challenges posed by a changing IT landscape and continue to add value. To do that testers must make sure they are providing the right competencies to projects, regardless of the software development lifecycle used or the particular type of project: It’s time to shape what the “Next Generation (NG)” Tester should be.
