A Day in the Life: JMP R&D
This presentation offers insights into the work environment at JMP Statistical Discovery LLC, a prominent statistical software company, with a specific focus on the Research and Development (R&D) division. Within this dynamic industry, I'll showcase unique aspects of working at JMP, emphasizing the collaborative and innovative culture that defines the company. In this talk, I will share insights on software testing, a critical aspect of the company's operations. While the testing group at JMP have graduate degrees in statistics and related fields, software testing is not a topic covered in most statistics programs. This talk will discuss the challenges and intricacies of software testing and cutting-edge testing techniques used within JMP.
