Becoming a Software Testing Expert

James Bach
I work with project teams and individual engineers to help them plan SQA, change control, and testing processes that allow them to understand and control the risks of product failure. Most of my experience is with market-driven Silicon Valley software companies like Apple Computer and Borland, so the techniques I've gathered and developed are designed for use under conditions of compressed schedules, high rates of change, component-based technology, and poor specification.

You're already an experienced tester. You know how to design tests and report bugs. Now what? Do you feel like an expert? Unfortunately, if you want to become very good at...

Horrible lecture or whatever this is... firstly the guy never explains anything, secondly he just keeps shifting from one topic to another.. Thirdly he just keeps boasting about himself.. Seems like he is talking to recruiters to hire him!!! One thing i dont know if he is a Testing Expert (which i doubt, after he continuously telling like he is doubtful) But certainly he is not a good mentor or a teacher.. And he is certainly a bad person to explain something to a crowd!!

This guy is so arrogant. He does not talk about testing but only about himself. I don't care what knowledge he has on his little terrain, an expert would not shout like that and treat his public as idiots. I could have spend this hour better than i did watching this video.

P.s. James, please look up the definition of cognitive science.

Wow.

Unbelievable.

Annoying with a score of 10 out of 10.

I restarted the video; still annoying with a score of 10 out of 10.

There - measurable and repeatable.

I am now considered a Testing Expert.

I'll put that on my CV just below the PADI Rescue Diver certification.

[shairemagrib]

I can not believe people sitting there in some hope to get knowledge , pour souls ...

[awisudan]

@gharikrishnan i think he is really sad guy

[humzon]

Software testing is so much over complicated bullshit. Just check the thing still work as intended and shutup!

[flowewritharoma]

I gave up at about 25 minutes. I thought I would learn something ... I was wrong! Mr. Bach seriously needs to test his lecture ;)
