James Bach'speak in Mel

zzgirl

James Bach is going to have a speak on June 5th at 7pm in Mel CBD area.

It is organized by Melbourne Association of Software Testers (MAST), more information is here http://www.quinert.com/

James is co-author of the book 'Lessons learned in software testing', and quite possibly the leading thinker in the field.  For those of you not familiar with his work, www.satisfice.com is a great starting point.  He has also contributed to much of the material in the black box software testing course at www.testingeducation.org.

Is anybody interested in this? send me msg, or MAST.

good, thnx for sharing....

zzgirl

Thank you for your reply. I thought it's useless for ppl here. quite disappointed......

ieee

I am quite interested. But is it free??

zzgirl

应该是免费的.即使收费,也是因为租用场地吧.没提收费的事情,所以......
不过你最好确认一下到底来不来,因为要预定的.
要么你跟我联系,要么直接跟组织人联系,他的email在http://www.quinert.com/有提的.

我今天问过topic了,组织者也不太清楚,只知道会是一些练习,启发思考之类的.

我是觉得,真的是些很好的交流机会,才放在这里的.不过,前几次分享的好像都不太受欢迎.以后,我想不会再发了吧.反正有兴趣的人自己去MAST看好了.

zzgirl

另外,组织者的背景,在他的blog里有提.他是我之前公司的测试经理,人很好,也很有经验.私下是朋友,所以会有这些信息.感兴趣的人,可以跟我联系.目前参加的人,都是network里的.

ieee

It is a good opportunity to learn from a real professional. Although my job is mainly design and development, I also need to do some testing and I want to know how to do it in a professional way. Thnx for the info, dude.

R u a girl?

这个,最近刚为这苦恼呢,很想做BA,可惜学理工出身,真的很难.现在不奢求了,做全能真的很难的.特别是这几个role都很有自己的特色,还是专一点比较好.了解其他role也是必要的,不要太深入,免得迷失了:)

是女孩子啊,有什么关系嘛??性别歧视??

smartmonkey

我觉得女孩子做tester吾错啊。 如果你英文好既话就可以做BA啦。

我都想做BA，QA， IM，PM啊， 但英文太烂啦， 做吾来。

zzgirl

我英文太烂,only can do testing....

Monica

我觉得做测试兴趣最重要，我就挺喜欢的，这是我目前为止最喜欢的工作类别，能对整个系统非常了解，而且发现各种各样的bug，又不用自己改，多好。：）

zzgirl

LS, maybe we can meet sometime for lunch if you working in City?

zzgirl

Anybody who booked this should get an confirmation letter.

Date/Time: June 5th, 7pm - 8.30pm.
Location: ThoughtWorks, Level 11, 155 Queen Street, Melbourne.

The topic is context driven testing.

zzgirl

James is the guy who wrote that book.

but this time he would just give us some exercises according to Jared.

smartmonkey

sorry. I have no idea.

zzgirl

Never mind.

I am not sure about context driven testing, but the book 'Lessons learned in software testing' is quite good.

昨晚如约去了这个讲座,确切地说是一个游戏.因为语言的问题,好长时间都没搞清楚到底是要干什么,郁闷ing......

内容其实也没有什么让人茅塞顿开的惊喜.更加说明了,什么讲座/学习,其实都不是那么有用,最主要的还是自我思考,自我更新.当然,讲座/学习/阅读都是很好的开拓视野的途径.很多时候会发现,他们讲的其实实践中都碰到过,或是已经形成自己的习惯,只是自己不曾去总结,没有系统化.而这些都是在面试,或是平时交流时很重要的东西.

据说,昨天参加的人一半是tester,一半是developer.也是Mel XP group的活动之一.有兴趣的developer可以去yahoo group看一看.
