Welcome to QA in a Box! I’m your host, Chris Ryan, and this week we’re bringing the excitement of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025 into the QA world. What do world-class tech demos and successful software deployments have in common? Dry runs.
In this episode, I’ll share a story from my early days as an Implementation Specialist and reveal how dry runs turned nerve-wracking software demos into unforgettable successes. We’ll connect those lessons to CES, where top vendors prepare relentlessly to shine on the global stage—and why we in QA should do the same.
Here’s what you’ll take away:
Why dry runs are a must before your next big release.
How to anticipate and tackle deployment challenges.
Practical steps to ensure your QA validation is seamless and stress-free.
Because whether you’re wowing an audience at CES or deploying a high-stakes update, preparation is everything. Let’s dive in!
Tune in to learn how to turn practice into perfection.
