Testing is my thing. I like testing, especially software testing, that is. I'm into all sorts of SW & IT development, processes, practices and the like. But most I like testing and that's what this blog is about.
On the first blog I suppose is a place for setting a course. I do not have a tight definition about what is coming onto these pages, but just have lots of ideas and things I'd like to highlight about the 'testing business'. I put that on quotes as an increasing quota of testing takes place in companies specialized to test SW and products of other companies.
About myself
I'm a techie on my forties, divorced and have wonderful contact with my ex and children. I love playing and singing music and am quite serious about photographing (the profile of half the nerds I know ;-) English is not my native tongue, so please bear with me and my text.
I work as a test improvement and support person in a large ITC (Information technology & Communications) company, been doing that most of my 13 years in the company. I also have had my share of test consulting and training tasks, even being fortunate enough doing it sometimes outside my day job in other companies.
I have background in programming and especially liked OO (object-oriented) methods, and have taught OO methods and languages in local university. I also have acted as a webmaster for a unit in my company and still play with different web technologies on my free time, occasionally helping some non-profit organizations getting into Net.
During recent years I have become active on facilitating tester networking nationally and continue pushing testing as a profession and real discipline on the industry. I push for improving the competence of testing people via various working groups in national and international forums.
So, that's enough for a simple intro. In later posts soon to come I plan to delve at least into
- The position of testing in the organization
- Improving the organizational aspects of testing
- Dealing with test management in large organizations & related tool support
- Balanced testing process improvement
- Improving development testing
- Training testing & other competence improvement
- Testing as a career
- My favourite testing books
I hope to see you later, if these items interest you
