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.
The interview is here, and there’s a(n empty) reddit thread as well.

I’m not sure if this is a musician’s perspective of learning or something more universal, but it’s something that I think about often. When learning, there’s value in training, lessons, reading, and other learning opportunities, but there’s much more value (IMO) in practice – but I’m not sure if that’s how everyone sees it (or…
I journeyed into public last weekend…and caught a cold. Fortunately, I’m well on the mend, but after a whole lot of isolation over the last four years, being sick is rare – in face, other than my one time bout of COVID last August, this has probably been the only time I’ve been sick since…
Many of you know that I’m a big fan of the five orders of ignorance (link is to my interpretation – the author’s original paper is here). I especially like the concept of “unknown unknowns” those bits of knowledge that are critical – despite the fact that we didn’t recognize those bits until they fell…

Last week, I spent my Wednesday evening talking with the folks at QASIG about test innovation. This is a variation on the talk I gave in November at Eurostar – changed enough so I didn’t get bored, and with some bonus chatter that can only come from a small friendly audience. The recording is here…
it’s 6:30-ish pm, and I’m killing time waiting for my sound check for tomorrow’s keynote, and thought I’d do a quick brain dump of today’s tutorial session. Today’s session was “Alan Page: On Testing” – which is a pretty wide open topic. For the slide handouts, I slapped together slides from a bunch of things…

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 🙂
