Quality – What is it, and what’s the cost?

February 2, 2010 / jgregory / Posts / 6 Comments

Last night (Feb 1rsts) at the Scotsman’s pub in Oslo after the XP Meetup, I had an interesting philosophical discussion with Tom Gilb, Geir Amdal and Rune Sørensen. My definition of quality is pretty simple – A product has a sufficient level of quality if it meets or exceeds customer’s expectations. I know it’s pretty […]

Reviews in Agile

January 30, 2010 / jgregory / Posts / No Comments

A few weeks ago on the agile testing list, a developer in a tester role asked about reviews – Where do they fit in the agile process? Lisa (www.lisacrispin.com) and I didn’t directly answer this concern in our book, so here are my thoughts about this subject. Organizations handle reviews differently, but I like to […]

Resolutions for 2010

January 10, 2010 / jgregory / Posts / 3 Comments

Last year was a bit of a blur for me. The book, Agile Testing: A Practical Guide for Testers and Agile Teams, that Lisa Crispin and I wrote, far exceeded expectations in sales. The need for courses on the subject also came unexpectedly. I spent the year travelling, giving the course and consulting. It was […]

What is the real problem?

September 15, 2009 / jgregory / Posts / No Comments

I’ve been seeing a pattern lately with some of the teams I’ve been training or coaching. Some have been doing agile for a couple of years but have gotten stuck in a rut and don’t seem to be able to find a way out of it. The same problems keep cropping up in retrospective after […]

Questions on Key Factors for Agile Testing Success

July 22, 2009 / jgregory / Posts / 1 Comment

Last week I gave a webinar on the Seven Key Factors for Agile Testing Success. I answered many of the questions on line during the webinar but there were quite a few that I didn’t get to, so I answered them by email. I thought I’d share them as they are questions that have been […]

Shared experience

A while ago, I had an email question from Jennifer about logging defects, as her team was starting their first iteration. I asked her to let me know how it went, and here is her update. I loved it because I thought they accomplished some amazing things and had some great lessons learned so I […]

Agile Testing Training Course

June 4, 2009 / jgregory / Posts / No Comments

Lisa Crispin and I have created a course on Agile Testing with the focus on how testers transition from a traditional testing team to testing on an agile team. Over three days, we put theory into action through a variety of exercises. This course teaches testers how to fit into agile projects, contribute to the […]

Titles, Roles and Leadership

April 19, 2009 / jgregory / Posts / 2 Comments

A discussion on the agile testing list got me thinking about titles and authority and how they related to a culture in an organization, or on an agile team. To make it more real, let’s talk specifically about testers, although it could apply to any role. If a tester has a title of ‘Senior’, does […]

Communication & Language Barriers

March 7, 2009 / jgregory / Posts / No Comments

I’ve just finished speaking at a test conference (link to softwaretest) in Copenhagen, Denmark and came away with some incredible learnings and not all test related. First, I found out I still can’t understand a word of Danish, but that didn’t really matter because everyone spoke English to me (I envy people with fluent second […]

When does feedback or a discussion become an argument?

February 19, 2009 / jgregory / Posts / 1 Comment

Someone told me that blogs should be personal. I also believe they should be relevant to your readers, and not just a complaint session. This may be one of my few very personal blogs you will see. I wrote an article ago with Lisa Crispin on “Testers: The Hidden Resource”, and posted to a yahoo […]
