The Third Test Management Summit (London, 28 January 2009))

On January 28, we visited the Test Management Summit in London with a number of people from the our project. As our project is based in the UK we were able to combine these activities and visit a test gathering outside the Netherlands.

The summit is organized yearly by Paul Gerrard, the owner of Gerrard Consulting. Many of you will know Paul from the Eurostar event where he conveyed his extraordinary view on testing. The day consisted of four blocks of free-of-choice sessions. In between there was time for the attendees to expand their business network, and the day was closed by a central presentation. When the sessions started the Ricoh group separated to join different sessions.

The kickoff was centered on Pragmatic Testing in Agile Projects, a hot topic in testing at the moment. Agile, and scrum as its management approach, are popular choices in today’s projects. Stuart Reid lined out how cross functional sprint teams could ideally fulfill any role, which is a major challenge for testers in such projects.

Market overview in "Testing" (feb2008)

Software Testing Going Through a Reinvention Process And Is Moving Away From Being a "Necessary Evil" to An Activity On Its Own Right

LONDON and BOSTON, March 10 2008 /Press release -- NelsonHall, the leading independent analyst firm, dedicated to BPO and ITO advice, today announced the availability of its latest research entitled "Software Testing Assessment and Forecast", a comprehensive review of software testing globally, authored by Dominique Raviart, Research Manager at NelsonHall. 

Raviart commented, "Software testing is increasingly performed as a 'specialist testing activity' by professionals that conduct testing on a full time basis. This is a significant change from the traditional testing activities, where developers would test their own work at the end of the software development life cycle. Specialist testing services typically bring a wider offering that goes further than the classic functional testing. They rely on structured methodologies to conduct testing projects and enhance software quality. Finally, they increasingly are delivered from testing factories and offshore, rather than provided onsite in a staffing mode."

The end of America - how fragile are your liberties?

More of the liberal bias that's permeating our culture with an "anything goes thinking" mentality. Don't waste your time on this one. It's an absolute attack on the previous administration and highlights minor faults and absolutely reaches for the stars in trying to compare that to fascism and Hitler. Sure, it'll get you talking, talking about how much propaganda is poured into this drivel that is nothing more than a weak attempt to brainwash the weak minded and our youth. This shouldn't be described as a documentary, more like an opinion. While, it is true that the democratic congress and democratic president is more like a socialist regime, the Bush administration is nothing like that nor will it be viewed in history like that.

Sometimes, taking out the garbage and cleaning the cat box is more enjoyable than watching the movie.
