As part of my effort to publish my back catalogue of recordings on the software testing business, I’ve added to the QR Podcast some old stuff including roundtables, conference talks, and guest spots on the odd testing show. It’s been pretty interesting listening to them and hearing how much some of my opinions/approaches have changed and what’s stayed the same. Enjoy!

Note: The quality of the audio on some of these was pretty sketchy, and I’ve tried to fix the sound and limit the background noise as much as possible as the content and participants are extremely good and worth a listen…

ISO 29119 Round Table

Here’s a roundtable discussion I hosted between veterans of the software testing industry (James Christie Michael Bolton, Iain McCowatt, Ilari Aegerter, Griffin Jones) on ISO Standard 29119. James gave his talk at the Association for Software Testing conference in 2014, which started a petition to stop the publication of ISO Standard 29119. Not great sound quality, but…enjoy!

STAR East – The Viability of Context Driven Testing

I gave this interview before my keynote at the 2016 STAR East conference on all the Lessons Learned Selling Software Testing. We also get into why context-driven testing is viable, as well as how to discern between wants and needs of your clients and testers…enjoy!

Screen Testing at TestBash Philly

Had a great time talking about testing and “Rocky” at TestBash Philly in 2017 with the Neil and Dan from Screen Testing! Yo Adrian…enjoy!

Let’s Test Interview

This is a long interview I did in 2014 with Duncan Nisbet for the Let’s Test Conference which was done while I was running the Global Test Center at Barclays. It captures a lot of the day to day of running that global operation and how we went about trying to balance the business demands with improving testing for everyone…enjoy! (Audio gets better about a minute into it…)

AST James Bach Interview

Driving While Driven: The Way of the Skilled Tester – In 2014 when I was the Executive Vice President of the Association for Software Testing, James Bach and I discussed what it means to be context driven, the role of skills in your development, and how you can become part of the CDT community. This is a long and wide ranging discussion about taking responsibility for your testing, the Context-Driven School of testing, and what it means for every tester to be their own methodologist…enjoy!

Testing in the Pub – Making Better Testers

Talking with Stephen and Dan in 2016 about how we can help testers and the testing community to improve and keep learning including promoting and educating people about better testing practices such as Context Driven Testing and the transition to better testing, particularly in the enterprise…enjoy!
