@alanpage couldn't you use the slides as wallpaper? Save your paint for when you need it.

Hello @markbunce, enjoyed the SWTC last week, nice talking to you afterwards too.

[Steve King @teststeevo]

@theBConnolly nice article on manual regression testing, the bit about shifting focus to a "complete strategy" would be an interesting follow up article.

[Steve King @teststeevo]

@alanpage but this isn't? https://t.co/l2fXVKgTRN

11) Why not? Perhaps it's because managers are aware the programming is HARD. And those same managers aren't aware that investigating deeply hidden, subtle, rare, emergent problems in complex systems is also hard. Testers must take responsibility for making that clear.

@alanpage maybe go even further... https://t.co/9yh5VRF1IX

10) Mind you, all a programmer does is type instructions from business people into a computer, right? So, a modest proposal: teach the business people to program, and then we won't need programmers OR testers. Simple! No technologists required! Yet managers never suggest this.

@alanpage I dare say, if that's what you're looking for. Doesn't make it the cause though.

[Steve King @teststeevo]

@alanpage Not with you on decreased cycle time, how does that have anything to do with "better quality". Less customer incidents could be for all sorts of reasons, like you're not working on version 1.0, or you've hired some super star developers who really know what they're doing.

[Steve King @teststeevo]

@alanpage I'd be surprised that it *caused* anything other than a decrease in tester numbers, you may have observed a correlation

[Steve King @teststeevo]

@alanpage "better quality" meaning what?

[Steve King @teststeevo]

Really liked the pod on continuing education and certification @testandcode. you and Andrew Hoover should do more together.

[Steve King @teststeevo]

hello, @testandcode just started following you after listening to some of the older pods, where do I find the notes you mention?
