  1. @rahul_verma Here's my question: does the exam involve anyone /watching you test/? If not, it's a bogus way to qualify a tester.
  2. @rahul_verma So I'm confused; when you say you couldn't pass the exam, are you saying that you don't have talent?
  3. RT @ajay184f: ROFL My company blocks the ISTQB India site - reason The URL that you are attempting to access is a potential security risk.
  4. @Morendil The problem with many process improvement enthusiasts: they ignore the reality comparison step. Too messy. Wrecks the model.
  5. @Morendil Right--you might also subtract some variables that you suspect might not be relevant.
  6. @xflibble No question; it's a valid concern.
  7. @xflibble I've seen both.
  8. @dhemery Some variables we can see and value. Some we can see, but evaluation might be tough or controversial. Some we miss altogether.
  9. @mcgoverntheory Okay... if a shallow audit will reveal that, why not make it your default assumption and start testing NOW?
  10. @rabbyc I STRONGLY recommend coaching and mentoring from people who DO have experience.
  11. @shrinik If that's how they see testing, help them to understand it better. Offer the idea that you can help increase value, lower cost.
  12. @shrinik You have one notion of productivity. Ask a manager about his/her notion of his/her own productivity.
  13. @shrinik Answering that question is straightforward, though qualitative. See the end of http://bit.ly/cI4A2 (but read the whole thing).
  14. @Morendil I don't think we can do that usefully, in that we don't, /can't/, know the relevant inputs to the equations.
  15. @jurgenappelo Plus introverts need recovery/processing/cave time after interaction with others, especially extraverts (like me). #Sorry
  16. @johnperrybarlow "Grown-ups are children gone bad." A friend attributed that to Ashley Montagu.
  17. . @jamesmarcusbach @rahulmirakhur makes a good point. RE http://bit.ly/7vCKLF
  18. @marick You're not as old as Neil, though. Out of the blue, and into the black.
  19. @rabbyc To me, Agile is the principles in the Agile Manifesto. The principles are good. Some people don't quite follow them, alas. #LookOut
  20. I got interviewed for EuroSTAR. http://bit.ly/6nxVZR
