Explaining the other work we do PDF Print E-mail
I had a technical issue I needed to research for a client. Nothing surprising, I research different bits of information frequently. At the end of my research I realized I wanted to explain what I'd done, I wanted to clarify and present what avenues I had pursued, what information I'd learned, what issues remained and what possible other solutions we might look into.

Attitude of the development team to the product PDF Print E-mail
Back in the old days, most of my Agile consulting was coming into well-performing Agile teams who wanted to talk about improving their testing. So I got to see a lot of seasoned teams.

Up in the Air PDF Print E-mail
I saw “Up in the Air” last night. While it’s a well-done movie, albeit entirely predictable, the world it portrays is a lot more disturbing than it seems at first.

Implementing DependencyProperty with a single attribute (and CciSharp) PDF Print E-mail

In WPF, one needs to implement the DependencyProperty pattern to make properties bindable. It usually involves a lot of boiler plate code:

  • adding a static field that names the depency property,
  • adding the instance property to the type (and make sure you follow the naming convention),
  • add validation methods and wire them in the dependency constructor

These are a number steps that need to be done again and again if you are building new WPF controls.

 
Exploratory Testing IS Accountable PDF Print E-mail
In this blog post, my colleague James Bach talks about logging and its importance in support of exploratory testing. Logging takes care of one part of the accountability angle, and in an approach like session-based test management (developed by James and his brother Jon), the test notes and the debrief take care of another part of it.
