http://www.mkltesthead.com/2015/08/exploring-at-cloud-foundry-live-at.html
The Mis-Education and Re-Education of a Software Tester. Wednesday, August 5, 2015. Exploring at Cloud Foundry - Live at #CAST2015. Jessie Alford told me something that astounded me. he's at Pivotal, working on Cloud Foundry. hey wait a minute, that means he's in my. Neck of the woods now! I am impressed that a programming team would spent the time to develop charters for exploratory testing, but Pivotal has surprised me many times over the years (at my previous job I was a daily user of Pivotal Tracker)...

TESTHEAD: Can I Lean on My Context at My Startup? - Live at #CAST2015
http://www.mkltesthead.com/2015/08/can-i-lean-on-my-context-at-my-startup.html
The Mis-Education and Re-Education of a Software Tester. Tuesday, August 4, 2015. Can I Lean on My Context at My Startup? Eric Reis wrote an interesting book called "The Lean Startup" back in 2011, and it's become quite the buzzword du jour. Thomas Vaniotis has decided that he wants to get beyond the buzzwords and actually discuss Lean Startup and make the case that Lean Startup is all about testing. Thomas used a number of interesting examples (Zappos, Dropbox, etc.) and how they made their minimum ...

The Mis-Education and Re-Education of a Software Tester. Wednesday, August 5, 2015. The Art and Science of Questioning - Live at #$CAST2015. It's fun being a facilitator, in that you get to actively participate in the discussion, and it also gets you up and moving. today I'll be spending most of my time facilitating the webCAST room, so if you see a bald guy in a white AST polo running around, yep, that is me :). What is unique to certain permissions? One of the things that is vexing about asking questio...

All posts by Iain. Principles Not Rules, part 3. November 10, 2015. As much as I have an aversion to mission statements, born of years working in organisations where everybody had to have one in order to satisfy some standard or other, my team and I agreed on the following “purpose” for our testing:. 8220;To enable informed decision making by discovering and sharing timely and relevant information about the value of solutions, or threats to that value. People think focus means saying yes to the thing you...

July 16, 2012. No best practice, no silver bullet, no one-size-fits-all solution. How convenient would it be were that not the case? How do testers make decisions? How do we select practices in context? Rate each alternative on each criterion. Compute the optimal decision. And if they don’t do that is it possible for us to rewire our brains to match these models? Perhaps to a degree. We can certainly follow the process but does going through the motions necessarily lead us to rational decisions? On exper...

Testing, managing, consulting, quality and the art of motorcyle maintenance. Monday, 8 July 2013. Michigan Testers Meetup - Round 2 with added eh? Twas a dark and stormy night. But even a massive thunderstorm and backed up traffic was not going to stop a bunch of hardcore testers meeting up at Lansing, Michigan. Talking of hardcore, Erik Davis. And Nick drove up from Ohio to be there. Was going to be in Michigan teaching RST so the opportunity was seized and a Michigan Testers Meetup was quickly arranged.

Because software testing without using your brain is as good of an idea as sticking your head in the sand to hide. Sunday, February 10, 2013. When We Don't Get Along. Relationships are complicated and dynamic. Whether personal, intimate, or professional, they all take time and energy to maintain; some more than others. At work, it can be very easy to feel trapped in a relationship because it's generally not practical simply up and quit or get transferred to another department. What do you do? There is ab...

The Ostrich Project: April 2012

Because software testing without using your brain is as good of an idea as sticking your head in the sand to hide. Tuesday, April 24, 2012. Technical Documentation as Reference Material. So why do we keep doing this? Because it's an industry practice? This isn't elementary school where we do things just because it's popular. We should foster practices that produce the best results. Because the client asked for it? Because the client offered to pay us a lot of money for it? Skilled Work for Skilled People.
