We’ll resume the Art of Game Design series shortly (with a far smaller gap than between lenses #1 & 2), but first an interlude. I mentioned in the last post that I had recently done some training for a client. Part of that training sprung from a conversation I had with the client’s QA Director […]

Posts about using computer code and programs to aid in the testing of a system.
TestRetreat 2013 – The Rest of my Mindmaps
The last 3 sessions I was in resulted in smaller mindmaps. I was mentally processing more information and thus didn’t capture everything. I’m going to combine all three mindmaps into a single post. First up was a discussion that Matt Heusser facilitated around the Cynefin sense-making framework. Matt sees value here for testers and was […]
Guest Post: .Net Headless browser options
Jim Evans is one of the committers for the Selenium project. He works a lot with the .Net bindings and the support for Internet Explorer. He sent out a post today to the selenium-developers mailing list about work he’s done investigating headless browser options. He then commented in the #selenium IRC channel that it perhaps […]
My Selenium Conference talk video now posted!
The video from my talk at this year’s Selenium Conference is now posted on YouTube. You can watch it here. I haven’t watched it yet, but I know we ran into some technical difficulties recording the screen during the talk, so as a reminder, the slides to go with the talk are available here should […]
Part 2 of our TWiST podcast now posted
SoftwareTestPro.com has posted part 2 of the interview that Matt Heusser did with Heather and I for the TWiST podcast. This time, I talk more about the automation I’m working on and about what was then my upcoming Selenium Conference talk. Heather talks about the value of testing and misconceptions about testers. http://www.softwaretestpro.com/Item/5129/TWiST-43—Heather-and-Andy-Tinkham-Part-II/Interviews-Automation (again, registration […]
Heather & Andy interviewed for TWiST podcast
A few weeks back, Heather and I spent a wonderful hour talking to Matt Heusser, the host of the This Week in Software Testing podcast. Our conversation covered all sorts of topics, and the time flew by. Both Heather and I had interacted a little with Matt, but it was nice to get the chance […]
Test Automation Architecture intro
As promised, I’m working on a series of posts digging deeper into the architecture I started describing at the Selenium Conference a couple of weeks ago. I had hoped that the videos of the talk would be up before I started on the series. I know that people are working on making them available, so […]
Mind mapping the Selenium Conference 2011
In a tweet she made from the Selenium Conference, Marlena Compton stated that I had mind mapped all my notes from the conference. She asked for a picture at the time, which I gave by taking a screen shot on my iPad. I didn’t have the full map shown, so she only got a portion […]
Wrap-up
Cem prepared this list to help us discuss the outcome of this workshop. We spent this morning discussing and refining it (with John moderating, which I mention so that he can get his Toastmaster’s credit 🙂 ). All of these things are in the context of testing on an agile project, where people typically shift […]
Observations
Tonight we spent the after dinner session taking a first crack at describing what we’ve learned from the session so far. I imagine we’ll be revisiting the topic again in the next couple of days, but here’s the slightly annotated list of points we came up with tonight… Managing XP with cards is like chartered […]
