The talk will be a re-hash of my PNSQC talk (shortened a bit and turned into more of a “how to, and why” rather than a strict case study). The mini-abstract is:

Code reviews are a long-time staple of software development – but what happens when the test team takes part in code reviews? We’ll talk about how my team at Microsoft has done this, what we’ve found, and why you may want to do something similar where you work.

I’ll post sign-in instructions here about 24 hours in advance. Mark your calendar now!

oh – if you have ideas or suggestions for future webcasts, post them in the comments below.

  • What’s Your Super Power?

    When I’m interviewing experienced candidates (for any software role), one question I frequently ask is, “What’s your super power?” I like hearing answers like, “I can learn new things really quickly”, or “I’ve found over 1000 security bugs”, or even “I’m a batch file (or other language) wizard”. Recognizing super (or special) powers in yourself…
