It’s an all mailbag show, with questions (and answers) about Model-Based testing; if testers are being (or will be) phased out – or if the role of the tester is simply evolving and expanding (and if the expanded role needs a new name); and some expansion on the Collect-Inform-Recommend-Act model.

It’s our 2016 end-of-year extravaganza – if extravaganza means Brent and Alan randomly talking about their favorite software moments of 2016.
