Once again it was a hot topic some people was in favor of Manual Testing and some were emphasized on Automation Testing. There were some question answer sessions as well

Mr.Arsalan then asked people to volunteer themselves for FlashTalk. Almost 10 people participated in Flash Talk on different topics.
