Brent Jensen and I found some time together recently to talk about testing. For some reason, we decided to record it. Worse yet, we decided to share it! I suppose we’ll keep this up until we either run out of things to say (unlikely), or until the internet tells us to shut up (much more likely).
But for now, here’s Alan and Brent talk about Testing.

Short story is that TestBash may be my new favorite testing conference. Great venue (no, fantastic venue), well-organized, and excellent variety and diversity across the different presentations. I was reflecting while walking the streets of Philadelphia this morning and realized that almost every talk was experiential – filled with stories of problem solving and discovery. For those who…
This post isn’t really testing related, so skip it if that’s what you’re looking for. Late Saturday night, I returned from my first trip to Israel. I was invited to present at the Intel Software Professional’s conference in Tel Aviv a few months back, and I gave an updated version of my STAR East 2010…

This will undoubtedly result in health issues and death for many women, and cause economic burden in states who already have high levels of poverty….
A while back, inspired by Roy Rappaport’s manager readme, I created my own. Unfortunately too late for most of my Unity hires, but a fun reflection exercise anyway. I originally had this on our internal wiki, but I recently moved it to my github site as a more permanent location. A few of you already…
I think this is the first time I’ve blogged about automation since writing…or, to be fair, compiling The A Word. But yet again, I see questions among testers about the value of automation and whether it will replace testers, etc.. For example, this post from Josh Grant asks whether there are similarities between automated trucking…

Oh, God. This ought to be good.
I enjoyed the podcast. Thank you for sharing. Interesting insights from inside Microsoft.
Great podcast, guys! How do you document your test efforts in such a fast environment, like Brent described Bing? Alan, what challenges did you encounter on the Xbox that you never saw coming?
Can’t wait for Episode 2!
I love questions as podcast fodder – we’ll throw these on the list for ep. 3 (episode 2 is already recorded) – will post next Monday if all goes well.
Thanks for the feedback, folks. @Alan: I suspect Roberto wants us to yell at each other more. @Roberto: For me, this is like bringing a knife to a machine gun fight. Alan usually slaughters me. But if it will amp the entertainment value, I’ll take one for the team. 🙂 thanks for the feedback.
