“I am extremely grateful for finding Matt and his podcast, and would not be where I am currently without his help. After skimming through several podcasts on the topic of testing, I was ecstatic to come across The Testing Show with Matt and Mike because of the clarity and realistic perspective they provided on the topic of testing in today’s ever-changing technological landscape. Matt himself is a great mentor, extremely selfless and humble, as well as a brilliant mind. He is the type of person you will learn something from by spending time with them. I consider his experience invaluable and anyone would be lucky to have the chance to work with him in any capacity.”

TestRetreat 2014 (NYC Edition)
Coming soon to CAST 2014!
You’ll find something different. A chance to connect with old friends, make new ones, and build the test experience you really need. It’s not a conference ... it is a test retreat.
Bring together the best and brightest minds in Software Testing and perhaps a few from the overall process of software (and value!) delivery.
We’ll start Saturday’s “Main Event” by organizing our thoughts ideas on new ideas -- how to do testing better, how to exlain it…Coming soon to CAST 2014!
You’ll find something different. A chance to connect with old friends, make new ones, and build the test experience you really need. It’s not a conference ... it is a test retreat.
Bring together the best and brightest minds in Software Testing and perhaps a few from the overall process of software (and value!) delivery.
We’ll start Saturday’s “Main Event” by organizing our thoughts ideas on new ideas -- how to do testing better, how to exlain it, manage it, and maybe even measuring it. You might call this "thought leadership." Our facilitator, Matt Barcomb, will help organize interests and ideas, then we’ll break into small groups to discuss, then present on our ideas. After a short break for lunch we’ll resume in the afternoon in open space format, gathering a list of proposals for topics. After proposals, the group will create the schedule together, based on interest.
In other words, the attendees will build the schedule they want, in real time, based on what we want to talk about now.
The day ends with a retrospective to collect our learnings.
We put the best people in the field in one room – people doing software testing, test coaching, and helping others do it, along with a few experts from related disciplines.
The format combines a workshop with just enough structure with plenty of unstructured, informal time. Or bring your own ideas for what to do Sunday!
We will share our stories, approaches, and ideas about testing
We will invent and experiment with new testing and coaching practices
It may involve discussing new, fundamental roles for testers and leaders of testers
We will discuss, document, and create new ways to influence the state of the practice, as well as projects to move things forward
How often do you get a chance to sit back and envision your next few years, surrounded by colleagues that can encourage you and offer realistic feedback?Other creatorsSee project -
After Twelve Years of Agile-Testing: How Did We Get Here and What Do We Know?
Twelve years after the Agile Manifesto was founded, we know a lot about how software is developed. Testing, on the other hand, is a little bit more ... fuzzy. Yes, we have advice on process and some shared language around testing, but how to fit the customer-facing into a sprint remains a challenge for many teams.
In this presentation Matthew Heusser covers the Agile Software Test Literature, discussion what's been proposed, what's been tried ... and how that played out four or five…Twelve years after the Agile Manifesto was founded, we know a lot about how software is developed. Testing, on the other hand, is a little bit more ... fuzzy. Yes, we have advice on process and some shared language around testing, but how to fit the customer-facing into a sprint remains a challenge for many teams.
In this presentation Matthew Heusser covers the Agile Software Test Literature, discussion what's been proposed, what's been tried ... and how that played out four or five years later. Drawing examples from his own work on real software projects, colleagues, and the literature, Matt will explain some common approaches to customer-facing tests, including scripted testing, exploratory testing, performance, automated linear testing, and high-volume test automation methods.
In addition to how to test, Matt will talk about the why of testing - how Agile principles subtly shift the way we think about the work, to eliminate entire categories of risk, while making a few risk categories more important.
Instead of a simple, easy prescription (automate everything), Matt will cover several different approaches, their strengths and weaknesses, and why you may want to consider each one.Other creatorsSee project -
