(Yes, I know I should be writing about the DT/TD Summit. Still sorting my brain out. And preparing for an upcoming trip, working on my materials. Thus my current puzzle…) I’m seeking the sources for some quotes I’ve been using. In each case, I’m reasonably certain I heard a speaker use the phrase in a talk at . . . → Read More: Quick Question: Who Said That? Chris McMahon said, “…even if someone were to give Elisabeth her pony, other functional testers would still find a dire need for aardvarks and platypuses.” Yup. I agree. Throughout my FTT:TNG post, I kept referring to “a tool” that would do a ton of cool stuff. Actually, that’s not exactly what I want. My wording . . . → Read More: And While I'm at It, I Want a Platypus Too! On the toolsmith-guild discussion forum, Russ DeWolfe asked me what problem I was trying to solve with all this next generation tools talk. Russ brings up a good point. I talked a lot about what I want, but not about the core problem that I’d like to see solved. So here’s what I hope a . . . → Read More: What Problem Would Next-Generation Functional Testing Tools Solve? In Part 1, I discussed how Ward Cunningham, Brian Marick, and Jennitta Andrea’s ideas have inspired me. As I said in that post, their work has suggested possibilities to me. No longer will I be satisfied with a test tool that just lets me drive an application. I now want function test tools . . . → Read More: Functional Test Tools: the Next Generation (part 2 of 2) I’ve been meaning to post this for ages. So while I’m polishing the rough edges on my Part 2 of 2 post, I thought I’d take this opportunity to finally make good on that promise. Here it is: the Quality Tree Software, Inc. Test Heuristics Cheat Sheet, formerly only available by taking one of . . . → Read More: Test Heuristics Cheat Sheet Development tools have become orders of magnitudes more powerful in the last several years with intellisense; keyword coloring; automated refactoring across entire code bases; tight integration with pick-your-favorite-flavor of xUnit; and tight integration with source control. Software development today is nothing like software development when I started learning to code in the 1980s. But while we’ve . . . → Read More: Functional Test Tools: the Next Generation (part 1 of 2) A quick update on the Bay Area TD-DT Summit I mentioned in a previous post. The response has been overwhelming. So overwhelming that I discovered today that I hadn’t responded to everyone that sent a request for invitation. I think I’m caught up now though. So if you sent a request for invitation already, . . . → Read More: Bay Area TD-DT Summit Some years ago while on a family car trip, my youngest daughter piped up from the back seat: “There’s always a duck!” “Huh?” we replied. “Where did that come from?” “I don’t know,” she said. “But it’s true. There’s always a duck.” She was four at the time, and prone to odd-ball exclamations. I’ve forgotten . . . → Read More: There's Always a Duck You probably already know that I offer an Agile Testing class. If the feedback forms from participants are any indication, it’s a pretty good class. Participants get a lot out of it. But something is bothering me about the class. It can be better. And I’m all about continuous improvement, so . . . → Read More: Teaching Agile Testing |
