Why don’t we ask Technical Support, the Sales team, Customers, HIPPA and FDA if they think Testing is dead? It’s just arrogant to think Customer’s are OK testing something they just paid good money for and full of bugs. Ask developers’ who would they rather have reporting errors, their peers or the customers. What a waste of time. Lost respect for Google.

This presentation is only providing one perspective or solution to a certain set of problems. Not sure if cost of fixing bugs later (as compared to finding them earlier) was ever considered, seems to me like a one-sided view of a problem. Looking forward to its implementation (and scale).

I guess you must not underestimate or demotivate testers at all. If testing is dead then technologies dead. No one cannot predict and uncertanity. Well testers are well aware of all the situation, pros-cons.
Instead development and senior management must think Are we building the scope right it?, Are we managing the right management? Are we building the right people? etc…

There are multiple levels of software testing. It will never go away. Once we make the right “it” there will still need to be the testing of the software. True it is important that Quality Assurance be involved at all levels but I am personally more interested in making sure “it” was built right rather than was it the right thing to build.
