A Brief History of Software Testing

Friday July 16th 2010 6pm Rated 17 5 Comments Test and QA Metrics Development Acceptance Integration Software Testing Unit User

Agile Testing... Why Dig into the Technical Design

Wednesday September 1st 2010 11am Rated 3 2 Comments Agile Development Acceptance Integration Quality Assurance Software Testing Teams Software Test Professionals Conference Web
There are cases where not knowing the inner working of your application is a valid approach to testing. However, I believe that we may make incorrect assumptions when we don’t learn the technical aspects of our software projects and could expose ourselves to unnecessary risks.

Congratulations! You’ve just joined a company as the new QA Manager and you’re eager to dive right in and be successful.
