In May 2013 I presented a Keynote at TestNet discussing how I have worked with, and built, Silver Bullets; cautioning people not to think they have ever found a Silver Bullet, instead to keep questing for improvement, and never stop questing.

Tutorial

A half day tutorial on Web Testing using HTTP Proxies and in built browser tools.

Actual Talk Description

I’ve said in various talks that I don’t enjoy creating, justifying, or applying, definitions.

I think creating your own definition does work well as an exercise, because you can explore your vocabulary and try and create an encompassing statement of intent to cover what you mean when you use a word. And there exist, people who do the ‘definition’ thing really well. James Bach and Michael Bolton act as exemplars of this approach and freely share, discuss and debate their definitions via blogs and twitter.

At the January 2013 “Test Management Summit” I presented a half day tutorial entitled “Lessons Learned with BDD”

Subtitled: Thinking and automating with Domain Specific Languages.

This was an opinionated overview of BDD where the underlying theme was that BDD involves the creation of a DSL.

Code BDD Examples

I released the source code for all the examples to Github

On 4th December 2012 I presented a Webinar for Eurostar on Technical Testing. Becoming more technical, gives you more flexibility, more options, and gives you more ways that you can add value on a project.

In November 2012 I presented A Keynote at Eurostar entitled “Unconventional Influences”, and co-presented a tutorial with Simon Stewart the “Selenium Clinic”. The tutorial won an award for best Tutorial at the conference.

Keynote Paper

Since I entitled the talk “Unconventional Influences” I tried to make the paper as unconventional as I could, so it covers the essence of the talk but not the material. I republished this as part of Dear Evil Tester

Interview

On 16 May 2012 I presented a webinar at the Eurostar 2012 Virtual conference. An overview of many types of visual thinking for software testing

The event was recorded and you can see a video of my talk on the Test Bash page. Markus Gartner

Markus Gartner did a pretty good write up of the talk.
