As you may have noticed, my blogging has slowed. I\u2019ve been navigating and ramping up on a new team and helping the team shift roles (all fun stuff). I\u2019ve also been figuring out how to work in a big org (our team is \u201csmall\u201d, but it\u2019s part of one of Microsoft\u2019s \u201chuge\u201d orgs \u2013 and there are some learning pains that go with that. <\/p>\n
But \u2013 I did take a few days off this week to head to Zurich and give a talk at Swiss Testing Day. I attended the conference three years ago<\/a> (where I was impressed with the turnout, passion and conference organization), and I\u2019m happy to say that it\u2019s still<\/em> a great conference. I met some great people (some who I had virtually met on twitter), and had a great time catching up with Adrian and the rest of the Swiss-Q gang (the company that puts on Swiss Testing Day).<\/p>\n I talked (sort of) about testing Xbox. I talked a bit about Xbox, and mostly about what it takes to build and test the Xbox. I stole a third or so from my Star West keynote, and was able to use a few more examples now that the Xbox One has shipped (ironically, the Xbox One is available in every country surrounding <\/em>Switzerland, but not in<\/em> Switzerland). Of note, is that now I\u2019ve retired from the Xbox team (or moved on, at least), I expect that I\u2019m done with giving talks about Xbox (although I expect I\u2019ll use examples of the Xbox team<\/em> in at least one of my sessions at Star East).<\/p>\n
