The lightning-fast pace of innovation brought on by the rapid advances in our testing technology owes at least part of its success to building, writing, and deploying a coding language that allows humans to follow and track it in a way that resembles how we think. This week, we explore how software-defined test has helped us improve and optimize our test, the differences between spoken language and coding, and the opportunities that arise when you are armed with a new vocabulary. To explore how we can better speak the language of test, host Derek Burrows welcomes Kimberly Bryant, founder and CEO of Black Girls Code, and NI’s  Eli Kerry.

• What is Kimberly’s perspective on the differences between spoken language and coding language? What are the similarities? 
• How has software-defined test helped us improve and organize in the automotive domain and beyond? 
• While spoken languages may help us navigate and define the world around us, coding languages help us build them.
• Why was LabView created, and what does LabView code look like? 
• With novel technologies like AI, we are teaching the computer how to solve problems sequentially by following a set of algorithmic steps, much like the teacher teaches their student. 
• As our computers get smarter, will we see the line between our language and theirs start to blur?
