Jason Huggins has very kindly pointed me to two more places where Developer-Testers/Tester-Developers (DT/TD) hang out. Interestingly, both were in London. Google hosted LTAC (the London Test Automation Conference) in September 2006. Antony Marcano mentioned LTAC on his blog. And the LTAC talks are available on Google Videos. And there’s a mail . . . → Read More: Where are the Developer Testers and Tester Developers… I spent this last weekend at AWTA, the Austin Workshop on Test Automation. Our official topic was Open Source Testing Frameworks. Before the meeting, I figured we’d discuss experience reports about how folks used Watir/Selenium/xUnit/CruiseControl/etc. and Ruby/Perl/Python/etc. to cobble together totally automated, lights out, acceptance testing solutions.

My blog isn’t . . . → Read More: Just Who Am I Anyway? Once upon a time, I worked on a project where the developer protested “SCOPE CREEP!” to every bug report I filed.

But that’s a topic for another day. Migrating all this content has me looking at stuff I haven’t really looked at in a . . . → Read More: The Day Tim Lister Asked Me "Why Are Your Pants on Fire?" and How It Changed My Life When interviewing candidates for testing positions, I often describe a program, then ask the candidate to tell me how they would test it. I recall one candidate who came up with a couple test cases, then sat back in his chair and said, with a relaxed smile on his face, “and that’s that.” “That’s that?” I asked. “Yup,” . . . → Read More: Thinking Outside the Explicitly Defined Acceptance Criteria Box |
