The Testing Show: Avoiding the Commodity Trap

After the Reinventing Testers workshop that James & Jon Bach held in Washington, Matt Heusser, Michael Larsen, and Justin Rohrman had me on their new podcast, The Testing Show. (Perze Adaba couldn’t be there because I screwed up the technology on my end and then the time of the reschedule – sorry guys!)

Show notes:

What does it take to differentiate yourself as a tester? How can you demonstrate the unique values and attributes you can bring to the role of tester? How can you push back against the race to the bottom where “everyone can do the job”? Is that really true? These questions and more we posed to Andy Tinkham, and shared ideas as to how we can bring much more to the table that we often think we can.

Also, can software be specified in such a way that it can actually be made error free? Justin had a chance to look at that very idea at the DeepSpec Workshop at Princeton University, and he shared his findings with us.
