As part of his role in the community, I get to talk to a lot of people A
lot.
Some of them are smart. Some of them are insightful. A few of them have something to say that we think is interesting or valuable for the SoftwareTestPro audience, and we try to get them on the podcast.
Most of the time, those folks are testers, test managers, software developers, project managers, or something else in the general group of operational delivery experts.
That ain't this podcast.
This time, we've got something different for you -- something that I believe will be a real treat. We invited
Treb Ryan, CEO of
OpSource, to take a step back and do some deep analysis on the software development landscape -- how we got where we are, where we are going, and what testers can do to add value to the process.
I'm really proud of this podcast. A grown-up, Treb has been around the industry long enough to see pat the hype and get to the essence of some key issues in our time. He's also in a position to know; his company started in the managed hosting business, hosting solutions for Software As A Service Companies, but recently moved to hosting cloud-based applications.
His analysis of the field, and it's potential, is one I found fascinating.
I had fun recording this, I think you'll have fun listening ... and I suspect you might learn a thing or two along the way.
