AB Testing

We have an in-depth discussion on the recently published Vision on the Future of Software Testing from ISTQB

This time, we reflect on the Gates, Balmer, and Satya eras at Microsoft.

Conor is back for more questions on Modern Testing. As with last time, you can follow him on Twitter (@conorfi) and read his blog here. Intro Music from https://filmmusic.io “Werq” by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)

Happy New Year! This week, we react to a 15 -year-old paper, and then somehow segue into talking about a few other papers. Papers mentioned: The Ongoing Revolution in Software Testing By Cem Kaner State of DevOps 2019 An Analysis of the Effect of Code Ownership on Software Quality across Windows, Eclipse, and Firefox by Nachi Nagappan

In this 343, Conor Fitzgerald and I talk about his experiences in testing, his experiences in Modern Testing, and a whole lot more. More info: Follow Conor on twitter: @conorfi Read his blog Also worth linking is Elisabeth Hendrickson’s Explore It!

In this 343, I’m joined by one of the long-time listeners and supporters of the AB Testing Podcast, the one and only, Perze Ababa. We talk (mostly) about leading a quality culture, but as you’d expect, we take a few tangents along the way. Perze is @perze on twitter – follow him!

We reflect on our December 2018 predictions, look back on the wonderful year of 2019, and talk a bit about what we expect in 2020. Happy Holidays from the two of us to the three of you.

Lots of topics this time, including CI/CD, UI automation, and ABT ulterior motives. Notes (more to be added later): Rockstar language Advent of Code

Maciej Wyrodek joins the 343 podcast to talk about his experiences with modern testing, The Unicorn Project, and various rants about the state of software testing.

I am joined this time by Areti Panou. Listen in to hear more about her changing role, and her experience with modern testing. Areti’s blog is unremarkabletester.com, and you can folllow her on twitter – @unremarkableqa

We talk a bit about Oredev, some more about devops, controversies in the principles, and a bit more about Alan’s role at Unity.

Our guest is Dave Westerveld. We talk a bit about accessibility, challenges in testing LMS software, and a lot of “modern” topics. Follow him on twitter @offbeattesting, and his blog at https://offbeattesting.com/

Our first real episode is a quick chat with Andrew Morton. Andrew is the Dev Boss at Ministry of Testing, and can be found at @testingchef on Twitter

We spend most of this podcast trying to understand each other while we wind through conversations on Product Management, Project Management, Program Management and how they all fit into quality.

Some discussion (and rants) on career maps (aka career ladders, levels, etc.) – and our experiences in how to make these fail spectacularly (and sometimes work).

it’s a mailbag show, where we talk about whether or not bugs in Windows 10 are due to a lack of a test team, and how you can apply MT principles if you’re a consultant asked to write automation. Once again, the audio isn’t awesome, but quality debugging continues.

Good news: We have a new episode! Bad News: I am doomed to never having another podcast without audio issues. My mic cable must have been lying across the speakerphone in the conference room, as it was picking up a massive amount of static. I was able to remove the static (you’ll thank me), but removing […]

Steve Rowe is back (for the third time!) on AB Testing to take part in a discussion on ethics in data science. Hope you enjoy.

Heads up – our technical producer (me) messed up levels and microphone choice and we ended up with a little bit of bleed between microphones that ends up not meeting our normally high quality standards. The next one will be better. For content, we talk a lot about what we’re seeing in the industry that […]

We are joined by the author of Leading Quality, Ron Cummings-John to talk about his upcoming book. More info at https://leadingqualitybook.com

We are joined by the inventor of Selenium, Jason Huggins. Listen in for stories about the early days of Selenium, Jason’s thoughts on our UI rants, and much much more. Be sure to check out Jason’s latest venture – Tapster

Alan recently took some heat on Twitter for disliking Selenium – or more accurately, how it was being used. This episode is a discussion and expansion of why Alan and Brent both have strong feelings about the industry infatuation with UI testing.

We realize during the intro, that this is the first time we’ve recorded an AB Testing podcast when neither Alan nor Brent are in a dedicated testing / QA role. What does that mean for Modern Testing? Turns out – not that much. Listen as we discuss.

Thanks to everyone who helped get us to this milestone episode. For episode 100, we share cast-time with all three of our listeners – who may or may not have been paid for their kind words.

This episode brought to you by Practitest – https://www.practitest.com. We spend some time preparing for episode 100, and talk just a bit more about what Alan may do next at Unity.
