Description: Google TechTalks August 10, 2006 Lee Copeland has over thirty years experience as an information systems professional. He has held a number of technical and managerial positions with commercial and non-profit organizations in the areas of applications development, software testing, and software development process improvement. Now, as a consultant with Software Quality Engineering, Lee has developed and taught numerous training courses focusing on software development and testing based on his extensive experience. In addition, he provides consulting services to SQE's clients ABSTRACT The real purpose of testing is to create information. So, when managers complain that testing "costs too much" perhaps they are really trying to say, "I'm not getting enough valuable information to justify the cost of testing." Join Lee as he discusses why quantifying the value of testing is difficult work — perhaps that's why we concentrate so much on testing process—that's much easier. But until we do this difficult work, until we prove our worth through quantifying our contribution, we should expect the bombardments to continue.

Description: Google TechTalks June 13, 2006 James Bach I work with project teams and individual engineers to help them plan SQA, change control, and testing processes that allow them to understand and control the risks of product failure. Most of my experience is with market-driven Silicon Valley software companies like Apple Computer and Borland, so the techniques I've gathered and developed are designed for use under conditions of compressed schedules, high rates of change, component-based technology, and poor specification. ABSTRACT You're already an experienced tester. You know how to design tests and report bugs. Now what? Do you feel like an expert? Unfortunately, if you want to become very good at testing, there aren't many classes or programs available to help you. This means you must manage your own education. This tutorial is about finding a path from experience to expertise. It's based on the context-driven school of test methodology. It focuses on what it means to think like a tester and how to design and critique testing practices (rather than just copy what the "gurus" tell you to do). You'll also get self-study strategies and methods for developing a colleague network. It's an ideal tutorial if testing is your career and you intend to excel in it.
