Ways to Improve Your Software Testing Skills

Wednesday September 1st 2010 8am Rated 17 6 Comments Test and QA Conference Presentations Development How To Training Agile Black Box Software Testing Software Test Professionals Conference
Ongoing self-discovery and learning have been critical in my own skills growth, and in managing test departments. Even after mastering a technique or achieving a desired outcome, my experiences have shown there is always a better way to do something. Learning new skills is critical for being able to discover those improvements.

DaVita: a Quality Culture Focused on Flawless Execution

Monday October 11th 2010 12am Rated 7 3 Comments ST&QA Magazine Teams Metrics Life Cycle Development Process Software Testing Training Tools
DaVita is a unique place to work. The word DaVita means “giving life,” and when asked what our teammates (employees) do for a living, each is proud to respond with a simple answer: “I give life.” Providing dialysis treatments to one in three Americans with kidney failure only scratches the surface of what we do. We are a community first and a company second, and while we promote a healthy balance of work and life, we also expect the highest level of performance in everything we do. We believe the work that each of our teammates does directly affect the lives of our chronically ill patients – and that includes our IT team.

The Secret Skill – How to Sell Testing

Tuesday August 23rd 2011 12am Rated 4 2 Comments Testing Performance Management Services Development Software Project Management Technology User Training
We’ve all had that after meeting discussion with ourselves of, “I thought I explained that point clearly to them. I couldn’t get them to buy-in to what I was talking about. Why don’t they see my point, they just don’t get it.” Sound familiar? It wasn’t that they didn’t get it; it was a problem with how you sold it. You didn’t know about the secret skill.

Agile Testing Notes

On a quest to understand how agile projects are successful, I encountered several interesting scenarios and insight into how the overall project is executed. But to my dismay, I almost always find that the information on Agile Testing itself, is quite generic (not talking Automation or Unit testing here). WHY SO?
