You can find an extensive list of presentations and courses that I've taught, including the slides and speaker notes for many of them, here.

Let's meet!

I'll be presenting a keynote address at the RIM Test Automation Conference, August 18-19, in Waterloo, Ontario.

I'll be visiting Dublin, Ireland to teach a public offering of Rapid Software Testing September 13-15, 2010 at Xilinx, Citywest Business Park. The Software Skillnet people have asked me to mention that "This class is being grant aided by Software Skillnet". There are very substantial discounts on the course for Skillnet members. You can book your place by following the instructions and then sending email to Susan Kelly.

I'll be presenting a tutorial and a keynote at Agile Testing Days in Berlin, Germany, October 4-7, 2010.

The Software Test and Performance Conference will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada this year. Despite that, I'll be there, giving a two-day tutorial in Rapid Software Testing October 17 and 18, and a keynote address on October 19. The conference continues through October 21.

On October 21, I'll be giving a keynote talk at TesTrek in Toronto, Ontario. The entire event runs October 18-21.

Rapid Software Testing will be offered again in London, England, again through Electromind, the week of November 1, 2010..

I'll be at EuroSTAR for the fourth year in a row. This time, I'll be presenting a half-day tutorial on test framing the skill of linking risk, oracles, coverage, and tests—and your account of them—in a coherent logical framework. The conference is in Copenhagen, Denmark, November 29 through December 2.

About DevelopSense

DevelopSense was founded in 1998 in Los Angeles, California, to provide testing and consulting services. In 2002, I returned to my home, Toronto.

In 2003, I began a close collaboration with James Bach. In the last several years, I've taught the Rapid Software Testing course that I now co-author with him in Canada (Ontario, Nova Scotia, British Columbia), the United States (California, Florida, Georgia, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, and Washington state), Brazil, France, Germany, India, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, and Turkey. I've given presentations on Rapid Software Testing, exploratory testing, and a host of other testing and management topics at conferences in Ottawa, Ontario; Grand Rapids, Michigan; Valencia, Barcelona, and Madrid in Spain; Wellington, New Zealand; Canberra and Sydney in Australia; New Delhi, Bangalore, and Mumbai, in India; Stockholm, Sweden; Den Haag and Baarn, The Netherlands; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Boston, Massachusetts; Portland, Oregon; Orlando, Florida; and Toronto, Ontario.

In 2005, I co-founded (with my colleague Fiona Charles) the Toronto Workshop on Software Testing, and I've written a regular column for Better Software Magazine (formerly STQE) since 2005. Through 2005, I also tested almost full-time for a large Canadian financial services organization.
