Testing Smarter
The folks at Hexawise just published an interview with me as part of their new “Testing Smarter” series. It’s the typical stuff plus one mini-rant.

End-Note
My one-year-anniversary-of-leaving-Microsoft post (link) blew up quite a bit more than I expected.

Hi Alan, thanks for the interview.
“I subscribe to at least fifty software development and test related blogs” – can you share this list?
I will…but the awful thing about my RSS feed is that I have no categories. Just one big list of software development, agile, testing, cooking, wine, comic strips, writing, etc. blog posts. I’m afraid if I shared, you’d just see noise, and little value.
“cooking, wine, comic strips”- that’s what I’m looking for 🙂
It’s not problem 🙂
