2025/11/07

Paul Holland is an expert at transforming how organizations test to be more efficient, valuable to stakeholders and finding important bugs fast. He’s built and lead test teams all over the planet and in my opinion, is probably the best hands-on test director I’ve ever worked with in my career. He’s one of my closet friends in the testing business having worked, taught, and spent some time in the barrel with each other and is always a good laugh. Listen in as we talk metrics, great test reporting, Taking Testing Seriously, training testers and just generally give each other a hard time…enjoy!

QR Podcast - Alessandra Moreira

2025/06/14

Ale Moreira is one of my oldest friends in the testing world, we got to know each other when we were elected to the Association for Software Testing Board of Directors together and then hung around in NYC while we worked at various companies and consultancies. She has always been a fantastic hands-on engineer in testing, and we see a LOT in common when it comes to talking to the business about the value of testing. Her newsletter Road Less Tested is on my list of “must read” testing blogs and she co-hosts the Engineering Quality podcast with a couple of her pals, so listen as we talk selling testing to the business, life after testing "death", and what it takes to lead quality engineering teams in this brave new world...enjoy!

QR Podcast - Santosh Tuppad

2025/05/25

These days, your philosophy about testing is more important than ever and a differentiator in the software testing market. Santosh Tuppad has been leading from the front since I first met him as a rising star at Moolya and through his workshops on security testing with me in the Bronx or in Germany with the Afghan Girls Robotics team. Come take a listen as we talk about the current state of testing skills training in our business, cyber security in the age of AI, and travel far off the beaten path into philosophy, true happiness as a tester, and how many cheese fries is enough... Enjoy!

QR Podcast - James Christie

2025/04/29

I first got to know James in 2014 when the Context-Driven community was organising (including your truly) against the rent seeking of ISO 29119 test standard, and as co-chair of CAST for the Association for Software Testing, I invited him to give a talk on Standards – promoting quality or restricting competition? His blog is a "must read" for any serious software tester, and his clear-eyed work on investigating the Post Office Horizon IT Scandal (including his submission) is the benchmark our community should be striving for when it comes to integrity, ethics, and professional standards. Listen in as we discuss what went wrong at the Post Office, good evidence, the role of government in technology, the brewing collision between regulation and IT, and how after so long in this business you can keep your teeth sharp!

2025/03/02

Driving While Driven: The Way of the Skilled Tester - In 2014 when I was the Executive Vice President of the Association for Software Testing, James Bach and I discussed what it means to be context driven, the role of skills in your development, and how you can become part of the CDT community. This is a long and wide ranging discussion about taking responsibility for your testing, the Context-Driven School of testing, and what it means for every tester to be their own methodologist.

James gave his talk at the Association for Software Testing conference in 2014, which started a petition to stop the publication of ISO Standard 29119.
