February 14, 2012 - Perhaps The Russian Space Agency Should Have Tested More?

Posted by jstrazzere

 

Not actually the Russian Mars Probe


The Russian Mars probe Phobos-Grunt launched on November 9th, 2011, was working immediately after launch.  But a command to start the engines wasn't successful. Instead, the spacecraft went into "safe mode" and was trapped in orbit until it splashed into the ocean two months later. copyrightjoestrazzere

January 17, 2012 - Some Interview Questions YOU Should Consider Asking

Posted by jstrazzere

 

Interview questions that YOU should ask

For most of the time during interviews, you are answering questions. But at some point during most interviews, you will be asked "Do you have any questions?" This is a critical time, since the interviewer will use your questions to find out what is important to you, and to see if it matches what is important to them.

January 10, 2012 - Want Your Kindle To Feel Special?

Posted by jstrazzere

 

Everyone wants to feel special!

Special Offers are advertisements displayed on your Kindle. You can purchase a subsidized version of a Kindle at a discount if you are willing to accept these Special Offers. But at first you couldn't view these offers on a non-subsidized version (like my Kindle Keyboard 3G). Now you can.

December 1, 2011 - Five Books I Really Like

Top 5 Books about QA and Testing 

 

A while back, I posted a list of Testing and QA books I have on my bookshelf. http://www.allthingsquality.com/2011/11/my-testers-bookshelf.html

A few folks commented that the list was good, but too long.  They wanted to know a short list of books I would recommend.  It's tough, because there are so many good ones worth reading. But for those who want to start with just a few, here goes. In no particular order:

November 16, 2011 - Keeping Up With Your Busy Test Team

Posted by jstrazzere

 

How are things?

 

One of the challenges for a busy manager with a team of busy testers working on multiple projects is keeping in touch, knowing what's going on, where help is needed, how to unblock obstacles. It's difficult (for me at least), and takes some work, but it's well worth it.

Here are some of the things that I do...
