how to make [developer] friends and influence [management] people

we asked 10 senior managers, "how important is testing in your business..."

I am not a tester

good for developers, good for management, good for the business

low technical debt

beautiful code

a safety net

predictability

pretty graphs!

less stress

solid foundations

meet higher needs is the right thing (Lean Startups) works how you expect it to (User Experience) doesn't break (Quality Assurance)

a bright future

talk to developers, talk to management, talk to the business
