I’m going to be at the STARWest conference on the evening of Wednesday, October 24 through the morning of Friday, October 26. On Thursday morning, I’ll be presenting a talk on Emotions and Test Oracles, an expansion of a lightning talk that I gave at STAR East in May.
Alas, my colleague James Bach is unable to be there. His subject, “How to Fake a Test Project” will be covered by our buddy Jonathan Kohl, who’ll do a splendid job. I’m looking forward to that.
I’m also intrigued by Brenda Lee’s “Session-Based Exploratory Testing–With A Twist” talk (a brief description of which can be found here). Postscript: It was a wonderful experience report, and all thanks to Brenda for presenting it.
I want to help to preserve another tradition that James started. Every morning at 7:00am, before the keynotes, we get together with a small number of conference attendees in the lobby of the hotel or in some likely breakfast nook, and we run through some testing puzzles, games, exercises, and/or Q & A. If you’d like to meet me on Thursday or Friday morning, please drop me a line and we’ll figure out where to meet.
