Learnings from Agile testing days 2012
I was at Agile testing days in Potsdam as a speaker. The conference is quite a nice experience as a speaker. I don't know the numbers, but I think it…
Presentation: Developers Exploratory Testing – Raising the bar
I have now presented about Developers Exploratory Testing at three conferences, Lets Test 2012 (Stockholm), CAST 2012 (San Jose) and Agile 2012 (Dallas). I still have Agile Testing Days 2012 (Berlin) in November, but I have figured out that the material will probably evolve enough before that time so I might as well publish my current material.
I have gotten very good response from my presentations with really interesting questions during Q&A sessions and also hallway discussions with plenty of people regarding the approach we are having on the team being responsible for quality. (more…)

What I have seen is that DET is accepted and acknowledged as a valuable practice, however it is not really carried out in its full potential. There are many details and aspects of it to work on, especially regarding reporting and follow-up.
The other day I was asked to help one of our teams with a DET session. (more…)
