May QA Workgroup MeetingMay 14, 2008
Secrets of a Buccaneer TesterPresented by James Bach Education has been the key to my success. Early on I chose not to outsource it. I quit high school in 1982, and have lived without the benefits and drawbacks of institutionalized learning ever since. There are no undergraduate degrees in software testing. The certification programs and graduate degree programs I've seen are disturbingly content-free. The leaders in our craft are all self-educated to some degree.
About our speaker: James Bach is a local self-educated software tester and author of the unpublished book How I Learn Stuff: Secrets of a Buccaneer Scholar, as well as the published book Lessons Learned in Software Testing. |
