Over the years I’ve written a number of articles into which I’ve been able to pour quite a bit of my thoughts. While not always the most popular, are the ones that speak the loudest to how I look at software testing and development.

I think these articles represent a good starting point for readers (in alphabetical order):

  • And nothing else funny happened
  • An In-depth look at CAST 2015
  • Appropriate Test Documentation & Formatting
  • Being a Distributed Tester was hard
  • Good and Bad UI Test Automation Explained
  • Good Tests vs Bad Tests and why you shouldn’t repeat them
  • Hiring a Software Tester, an Analysis
  • Humans and Machines: Getting the Model Wrong
  • How Do I Test This?
  • How to Write a Good Bug Report, use RIMGEN
  • It was the Creative Web that collapsed
  • My Testing Philosophy
  • Participating in Code Reviews as a Tester (Stickyminds)
  • Recognizing a problem in eBay’s iPad app
  • Selenium is NOT a test automation tool (WonderProxy blog)
  • Testers, Don’t Be Afraid to Make Production Changes
