Test Automation Pyramid expanded

I was recently at Nashville attending Agile 2013 and had the great pleasure of finally meeting Janet Gregory. I have been tweeting with Lisa Crispin for years and it was fabulous to meet the Janet part of the “dynamic duo” that I had not met before. Why the dynamic duo? Lisa and Janet wrote a book…

Agile Is much more than a Software Development process

I’m intrigued, bored, encouraged, and discouraged all at once: not to mention optimistic and sceptical.   How’s that for a confused and mixed up kid?  “Ok matey!

With freedom comes great responsibility

Whatever life holds in store for me, I will never forget these words: “With great power comes great responsibility. ” This is my gift, my curse. Who am I?  I’m Spiderman.   As with Peter Parker, I see the same holding true with Agile testing. I was recently delivered a course on Agile testing and I…

What’s an Agile Coach?

I’ve been asked the question above a couple of times lately, along with “why should we engage one?” – here’s my answer in a nutshell.   An Agile Coach is akin to the coach of a sports team.   They don’t play on the field (generally the coach is not a member of the delivery team) but need to…

Training and certification – let’s clear it up a bit

In a recent blog from the very active NZ Testing Community, I read about training and certification being treated as the same thing. This made me realise that there are some very general confusions in our industry around this. I am hoping to clear some of them up. To me, there is a huge difference…

Automated eye exams

Eye exams these days have changed a lot since I started going to an eye doctor at a very young age. I remember visiting an old ophthalmologist who ran a very comprehensive and manual set of tests on my eyes. It took over an hour, probably closer to two! Back then, I was not a child to sit quietly…

How do they know?

I was asked an interesting question the other day – How do websites know they are being accessed by a mobile device? In my mind, it magically happens but in reality, the device sends information over to the webserver in its user agent string (contained in the user-agent http header). This way the…
