Testing and all things QA

Posted by Scott on October 13, 2009 at 10:50 am.

I’ve been a longtime proponent of testing software products and have built up a lot of ideas and methodologies over time. When I’ve been consulting with clients, it’s been difficult to express these ideas and methodologies to people in a succinct and easy to digest way.

I’m going to start writing some articles on testing in a hope to help line these things up into a more digestible format and help firm up some of these ideas in my mind to make them easier to communicate to people, especially those who haven’t come from a testing background.

I’m sure that this will be a useful exercise for myself and also provide some interesting reading material for people. First post in the series later.

  • This caught my eye as I have a deep background in software QA.

    I was an automation specialist for a number of years and it is amazing that some of the tools from the 90s are still around today and being used to a huge degree at some bigger companies.

    The problem with automated QA is that if you have a poor testing process overall, you are just speeding up a bad process lol. People need to look at quality by design

    Cool. I just did a 3 day training course on exploratory testing – looking forward to seeing what you have to say.
