Content Pointer: The Future Is Mobile Technology
Heather Shanholtzer of SQE interviewed me for TechWell a few days ago. You can read the interview here: The Future Is Mobile Technology.
Upcoming Public Talks in Canada on Mobile
I'll be speaking on mobile application testing in October in Calgary, and in November in Toronto.
Thank You Australia
We enjoyed our time in and around Melbourne, and meeting some of you through the STANZ conference. Also thanks to Jared Quinert and those of you from the MAST group that we were able to meet in person. Thank you for being so welcoming.
Thank You New Zealand
We've had a fabulous time here over the past week. Thank you STANZ organizers for having me, and thank you to everyone who came to my talks in Wellington. We've enjoyed our stay and I was pleased to meet you and share ideas and experiences.
Speaking at STANZ 2011 on Mobile and Value
I'll be at STANZ this year speaking on testing mobile applications, and a keynote: "Am I Creating Value With My Testing? This is my first trip to Australia and New Zealand I'm looking forward to meeting new people, and face-to-face with some of you I have collaborated with online.
If you're planning on attending, it will be great to see you.
Content Pointer: Documenting Exploratory Testing
My latest testing article is on documentation and exploratory testing. You can read an online version here: Documenting Exploratory Testing. (If you don't have a login, click the Preview button to read it.) You can order a hard copy from here.
I get this question frequently: "How do we document when we are exploratory testing?" This piece describes some of the things I do on testing projects.
Cool Technology: 3D Printing
Some of you know that I enjoy working on classic cars. I have a '55 Pontiac custom, and some of my friends are master fabricators. It's amazing to watch them work with sheet metal and create shapes and useful things. I love watching old school craftsmen create something with their hands and the correct tools. I feel sad when I realize a lot of these skills are dying off. Sometimes technology gives you hope though.
There is an emerging alternative to old school craftsmanship called 3D printing. The Economist has an interesting article here. When I read about these kinds of things, it makes me feel excited to be working in high tech.
