  1. Hi Chaithra,

    I am glad to hear about your interest in BWST workshop.

    Bangalore Workshop on Software Testing (BWST) is a platform for testers (both freshers and experienced alike) to learn and share about testing trends and challenges in general.

    I would like to give you a short overview of BWST.
    In BWST1, all the participants presented about the challenges they face at their workplaces and how to go about solving them. Please note that these are the participants tried to bring in a change at their workplace.

    In BWST2, we had presenters present about how we could improve what we currently do in testing and what value it adds when we revolutionize a few things that we do. We had noted speakers like Vipul Kocher, Founder of Pure Testing, Ashok T, Founder of Stag software, Rahul Verma, a python evangelist, Rahul Mirakhur, a Mac specialist and many others.

    BWST is an invite only peer workshop where testers could come and not just listen to presentations or talks, but add their learnings, share their concerns or problems and ask how other subject matter experts solve them.

    BWST is a platform that enables testers to do better.

    Here are some references of what people think about BWST:
