Resumes in Context
2007-02-01 04:35:00 On a forum related to James Bach's Rapid Software Testing On-line (Beta) class (which I highly recommend! A few more technical issues to work out and it should be ready for prime-time) another student (Anne Marie Martin, from Atlanta) posted the following (lightly edited): Here's something I struggle with though, and would love to hear thoughts on. I have about 11 years experience in testing, and try to invest time in learning more about testing, and learning more in general that can help me with testing - such as the things we've all been discussing about philosophy and learning and Weinberg and a hundred other things that have tickled my brain during our discussions and threads that made my 'to do' list of things to read or explore or learn from.

What Best Practices really are. -- CIO Article
2006-11-20 17:18:00 Of all the places I expected to find an article supporting the fact that Best Practices is nothing more than a square on someone's buzz-word bingo card, CIO wasn't it. The highlights are these... Using celebs for endorsements has become such best practice that everyone does it. So what is best practice about it? Nothing. The phrase is simply a demonstration of how cliched business language dresses up the concept of copying something someone else has done. And when lots of companies copy the copier, it becomes dull, intellectually stagnant and offers no competitive advantage. It's just a me-too strategy executed by the cynical, the lazy, or the lazy cynics. More About: Article , Really , Artic , Ally
Established Monthly Column Seeks New Home
More articles from this author:2006-11-13 20:40:00 Starting in January 2007, Software Test and Performance Magazine will no longer be running Peak Performance as its lead column. This is due to the owners and editors of the magazine wanting to rotate columnists with expertise in various areas of the reader's interest. I will continue writing several full-length articles per year for them and participating heavily with their conference. So, while there is no bad blood between the folks at ST&P and myself, I am now the proud author of a homeless column that I have come to really enjoy writing.
