We are organising a Rapid Software Testing course with James Bach in Cambridge, UK. Developed and taught by James Bach, this 3-day, hands-on class on March 7 – 9th 2012 in Cambridge introduces you to rapid software testing, a complete testing methodology designed for a world of barely sufficient resources, information, and time. Based on [...]
Another STC Meetup is born. Kevin Kapell got in touch with us a few weeks ago about wanting to do an STC Meetup. He had already started a local Rochester NY community with regular meetups, but really wanted more testers to come along. Hopefully by partnering up we can get a nice and more active [...]
So the first STC Meetup in Cambridge (UK) happened last week and it is only now that I’ve had a chance to sit down and write about it. It didn’t take the attendees long to realise that the location and name of the venue was very well suited to our profession. The location wasn’t very [...]
Last night saw a small gathering of Software Testers (and one Project Manager!) gathering in the historic City of Winchester, Hampshire to talk all things Testing. With a severe lack of planning (my fault) we still managed to bring together about 10 people. There was no real agenda, but we mingled for a short time [...]
We started the Software Testing Club Meetups earlier this year. The mission has been to get testers to meet face to face in an informal way. So far they have or are going to happen in Nottingham, Oxford, Bristol, Cardiff, Birmingham, Cambridge and Liverpool. These are all based in the UK. But now we have our [...]
Recently, I ventured out from the humdrum of tester life and discovered a group of testers holding a “meetup” in Nottingham. Later on I travelled to London and met even more software testers who were excited about their craft and enthusiastic about meeting other testers. These events inspired me to organise a meeting for local [...]
So this is kind of exciting. We’ve done Nottingham. Oxford. Bristol. Now testers are calling out for Birmingham. The Birmingham Software Testing Club Meetup is kindly being co-organised by Simon Knight. You can help too! Here is how: attend the event! Simon would be grateful for another co-organiser to help him out – is this [...]
This years Test Automation Day is looking fantastic. If you can get yourself to the event, held in The Netherlands, then I reckon you’ll be in for a real treat. There’s a really great mix of topics and speakers. There are talks on Crawljax, the History of Automation, Performance Analysis, Agile and Cloud and many [...]
It’s not long now until The Next Generation testing conference in London by Unicom. I’ve been lucky enough to be involved recommending some speakers and suggesting some ideas of trending and future topics in testing. I’ve had a lot of fun working with Julie Valentine and Alec McCutcheon at Unicom. The advisory committee also had [...]
I had the pleasure of attending my first ever Weeknight Testing session on Wednesday. I attended it in person, in London, at the ever welcoming Skills Matter office. There were several other testers there too, but what made this Weeknight testing so special was that it was live. We had Lisa Crispin, Elisabeth Hendrickson and [...]
