James Bach's Testing Challenge

Challenging testers and coaching them has been my pursuit for decades. Come see how I do it.

This event will consist of three 90-minute webinars over the course of one day. The subject of the webinars will be software testing: its skills and practices. Upon signing up, you will be given this testing challenge that you can choose to do before the day of the event, or not, as you wish. You can also submit any questions or topics that you’d like me to cover.

Webinar 1: Review how people did the challenge, and then show how I solved it.

Webinar 2: Show prepared material based on questions or topics I received before the event.

Webinar 3: Do live Q&A and open discussion based on what people want to talk about in the moment.

The webinars will take place over Zoom. Anyone who participates in the live event will of be given access to the videos once I post them. We will also be using a MatterMost chat server to facilitate Q&A and file sharing.

Goals of the Testing Challenge

• To show you the Context-Driven and Rapid Software Testing approach.
• To foster learning through practice and discussion.
• To address your questions about testing, which might be shared by lots of other people.
• To harness the learning energy of human contact.

Who Should Take This Training

This event is for you if:

• You are concerned about your practice of testing and you want help with it.
• You don’t want to commit to a multi-day testing class at this time.
• You want the instructor to react to you and your concerns.
• You are interested in the Context-Driven school of testing and how it views the world.

Main Topics Covered

We are not guaranteed to cover any particular topic. We will cover whatever the attendees ask for, within the time available. It’s likely that more questions will be asked than I can handle within the webinars. If so, I will be happy to answer the rest in writing.
