Inflectra's inaugural Software Testing Bowl is now in the past and we are taking a moment to share the highlights and reflect on the lessons learned from the event.
But first, let's recap the event:
As you recall, the #TestBowl was a team competition for software testers from all over the USA. The event was hosted by STPCon Fall 2018 at Sheraton Pentagon Hotel in Arlington, VA.
On October 23, Team Inflectra started Software Testing Bowl shortly after STPCon's Meet and Greet and Happy Hour, at approx. 6pm. When doors closed, we had approx. 25 testers competing in 6 teams.
After 2 hours of intense testing of a desktop application called GoodFynd, the following scores have been recorded:

The top two teams were announced winners.
The 1st Prize winner was Team Fluttershy:
The 2nd Prize winner was Team Spike:
The Software Testing Bowl 2018 Award Ceremony took place on Oct 25 at STPCon and was attended by 3 winners from the winning teams. Here is an uncut video of the award ceremony:

We would like to congratulate all winners and participants of Inflectra's first ever Software Testing Bowl!
We enjoyed putting together this event and are planning on hosting another Test Bowl in the Spring of 2019 in San-Francisco, CA.
