James Bach

“I had an opportunity of receiving Rapid Software Testing training from James during my time in the UAE at ADIA. Though I was practicing exploratory testing and Context-Driven Testing (CDT), James' training had a profound impact on my approach. James's thought-provoking questions were exceptionally impactful. I genuinely value the fact that James's RST training stands apart from other typical training programs. Instead of solely focusing on tools and technologies, James's training facilitates the development of a great tester within you, helping you reach your full potential.”

“James presented a great strategy for the Centralize Testings Services at Northwestern Mutual and I was lucky to be able to part in the training. He is very thought provoking and challengers testers to "really" think outside the box.”

“I worked at ST Labs when James was there - we had a few great discussions about testing and one I remember like it was yesterday. When the project I was on, only had us reporting bugs and not verifying fixes I was adamant that I was not comfortable with it and he agreed. He was the godafther at ST Labs and has gone on to be one of the top if not the top expert in Software Testing. As my career progressed and new challenges came along through 1999 I found many of his articles and templates online and used them as guidance to help me expedite major obstacles that I would have spent months figuring out for myself. Because of him I went on to create dozens of templates and shared them with the testing and QA community. I recently learned he has a rapid software testing course which I am sure started long before Agile came along. I did the same with my company called Quiker a practice I started in 1997 shortly after working at ST Labs and our discussions about how to be effective faster in software testing. He may not know it - but he helped to shape my career and passion. I recommend any company who needs assistance in bettering their testing effort success ratio and wants to learn from the best to get your team to attend his workshops and trainings. I was fortunate to learn from him and so should you.”

“James Bach has been one of the most impactful educators I have come across to date. His teaching methodologies surpass basic systematic approaches by highly encouraging what is subconsciously already present. I am confident that this teaching approach combined with the techniques he has mastered over years of experience are a sure receipt for future success not only with the IT software testing field, but also via ones cognitive approach to everyday situations. James Bach is undoubtedly a buccaneer scholar amongst scholars.”

“James is passionate and brilliant. He will ruffle your feathers. He will push you and probe your mind like Yoda or Spock. He is a deep and wide thinker – a constant learner, always curious. There isn’t a better kind of mind to be involved with in solving difficult software testing problems for you and with you. James never settles for the obvious. As a consultant, James is prepared at all times. If you hire James as a consultant, you will always get more value than you expected. Finally, James is an amazing and generous mentor. He is giving of his time, knowledge and support. If you are fortunate enough to learn software testing from James, you will be forever grateful for the opportunity and you will never settle for being a test automaton.”

“I can't imagine bright future of software testing without James Bach. His work has given altogether new direction to software testing. Testing community owes him a lot for his work and selfless contribution. Many testers across the globe have learned a lot from his publications, presentations, speeches and thus he becomes 'Guru Dronacharya' of many 'Eklavya' s out there. James is my role model.”

“James is not just an outstanding testing expert with huge enthusiasm for his field, but he combines his vast knowledge as well with amazing presentation skills, delivering his message with a gripping performance; His "Rapid Software Testing" course is a must for anybody working in Test or related disciplines. Certainly one of the best training investments I made so far in my prefessional career. Inspirational & highly recommended!”

“James invited me to a conference called Agile Fusion where testers and developers worked and learned together in a concentrated environment. James impressed me greatly with his depth and breadth of knowledge and his instinctive grasp of finding the most important things to focus on during the sessions. It was a distinct pleasure to work with him for that brief, but instructive, period of time.”

“James is The Godfather of Test since he has done what James Brown did to soul music! I wish that I some day can contribute something back to James' work that helps him as much as he has helped me.”
