Thanks for joining us for another podcast episode. On this weeks, we talk about all things certification. We discuss the value of testing certifications, what role they play in our hiring practices and any alternatives that may be worth considering.Russell took us on a journey into our pasts to look at what we may of overachieved in during our younger days before diving into the main topic.When discussing the certifications, the peers touch on the difference between the knowledge learned and the value of the multiple choice examinations. The real value is that certifications can often give you a foot in the door and a glossary of terms to go and learn more.We touch on whether we should have it in our CVs for jobs and what benefits that may give candidates to have it in there. But the key concern raised is around it being held as a Badge of Honour. We do agree that it is worth encouraging people to complete the ISTQB foundation as it can solidify knowledge, but it is by no means a mandatory part of the requirements for a testing role.We do mention other courses such as the more advanced ISTQB courses and also the Black Box Software Testing courses, Rapid Software Testing, Scrum Master and the Ministry of Testing Essentials too.Collaborative learning is also touched upon, doing the courses as a team can sometimes help the learning across the team to ensure all are on the same page.Let us know your experiences of certifications and your thoughts on the value.Thank you for listening.

Joulun kunniaksi AamuQAQAssa avataan oikea ideoiden aarrearkku. Mukana on nimittäin paljon toivottu Kari ”Dragon” Kakkonen, yksi Knowit’n johtajista ja voimahenkilö myös FiSTB:n ja ISTQB:n takana. Kari on myös kirjoittanut lapsille suunnatun fantasiakirjan Dragons out, joka kertoo lohikäärmetaisteluiden kautta softatestauksesta. Tältä mieheltä eivät hyvät ideat lopu kesken. Ja nyt hän on Anan vieraana AamuQAQAssa! Keskustelemme Karin kanssa AamuQAQAn historian ensimmäisillä virtuaalikahveilla mm. kirjan synnystä, Karin päätymisestä testausalalle, Elon Muskin nerouden kääntöpuolista ja tekoälyn mahdollisuuksista ja uhkista. Karin mielestä testaus on ennen kaikkea hauskaa ja jokaisen pitäisi etsiä itselle sopiva tapa tehdä siitä sellaista. Tämä on kuultava! Mukana tuttuun tapaa myös Perffiparoneiden Uutispaneeli, jossa tutkaillaan sähköautoja ja niiden mahdollisia softavikoja.

Performance testing is easy, right? Grab a tool, record a transaction with the server, ramp up a thousand virtual users... What do you often get? A hot mess! Performance testing is likely the kind of testing most likely to be done poorly. It does not have to be that way. Join us to learn what performance testing is not: not easy, not guaranteed, but not impossible to do well. Much of a good performance testing program is not about using the tool at all; instead it includes all of the ISTQB buzzwords: static testing, early testing, planning and preparation. Learn the basics of successful performance testing and improve your performance test project.

Es fehlen im Softwaretestbereich: das Kochbuch im ISTQB und ein Überblick über die Testwerkzeuge. Prof. Dr. Andreas Spillner hat an der Hochschule Bremen gelehrt, in unserem Podcast berichtet er Valentin Dallmeier von der Testfabrik AG, welche Vorteile eine Standardisierung im Softwarebereich mit sich brächte.

In today’s episode, Phil chats with featured guest, Gualtiero Bazzana. Gualtiero is past president of the International Software Testing Qualifications Board, more commonly known as the ISTQB(r). He is also president of the ITA-STQB, the Italian chapter of ISTQB(r) and Southern Europe regional director of Alten, which is a technology and engineering group operating world-wide. KEY TAKEAWAYS (01.26) Gualtiero begins by explaining more about his responsibilities as Regional Director of the technology and engineering consultancy Alten. Gualtiero goes on to tell us about his passion for not-for-profit organisation ISTQB(r). (02.27) Gualtiero tells us how he is a family man with three children and that he has a great passion for skiing (02.51) Gualtiero says that his main priority is his role as regional director of Alten and his voluntary work for ISTQB is a secondary priority. (03.46) Gualtiero says that I.T. is in an exceptional moment in time, with a lot of opportunities. He goes on to say that we should all embrace change and take risks so that you can live without regret. Gualtiero reasons that we should take the USA’s approach to a career in I.T and act more aggressively and be positive. (06:23) Gualtiero says that the worst moment in his I.T. career was when he lost his biggest client, one that generated over 50% of the company’s income. Gualtiero explains that he felt a social responsibility for the staff he had hired and for the company that had just purchased his company. From the experience Gualtiero learnt two vital lessons: 1. Always surround yourself with good guys, and you’ll be able to work out a solution. 2. Always think about risk management. Don’t rely heavily on one source of income for your business. (10.16) Gualtiero talks about his career highlight by stating that he is proud to have been voted for two terms president of ISTQB(r), an organisation that spans many countries and cultures. He goes on to state that it is important to recognise the short term results of people, but to also look at their potential. (12:13) Gualtiero states that a career in I.T. is an ever changing learning curve. There are always new challenges as the industry evolves. He says that if you are enthusiastic about I.T. you will never be bored as there are opportunities for technical people, analytical people and those that want to be managers.   BEST MOMENTS (13:58) The Reveal Round: Phil: “What first attracted you to a career in I.T.?” Gualtiero: “For sure, the fact I get to work with cutting-edge technologies.” Phil: “What is the best career advice you have ever received?” Gualtiero: “It’s not really career advice, it’s life advice. Be always fair with the people around you, with colleagues, customers and suppliers. The world is big and small at the same time, it’s important to stay connected.” Phil: “If you were to begin your I.T. career again, what would you do differently?” Gualtiero: “I am so happy, I would do exactly what I've done again. Start working for a well-positioned consultancy company, which gives you the idea to experience different things. You have to see what’s around so that you can choose what you want to do.” Phil: “What career objectives are you currently focusing on?” Gualtiero: “I’m 52, so in the I.T. domain I’m close to being a dinosaur. But I try to be young, so my objectives are to develop the career path of the best people working with me, and to try to keep a good balance between work and life.” Phil: “What’s the number one (non-technical) skill that has helped you so far?” Gualtiero: “Constancy of purpose, if you want to be the best you need to work intensively. But also the ability to be open-minded changes.” Phil: “Gualtiero, can you share a parting piece of advice with the audience?” Gualtiero: “I think that the I.T. industry is a land of opportunities, for everybody. We can get so close to how the world is changing. We get to see the impact our projects have on life, on telecommunications, on banking and e-commerce. Phil: What’s the best way we can find out more about you?

The Software Process and Measurement Cast 476 features our interview with Kyle Siemens.  Kyle is CEO at Brightest. We discussed the case for certifications. The whole concept of certifications is a lightning rod for the excesses of agile and the Agile (big A) industry.  Mr. Siemens makes a strong argument for certification when done properly. Kyle’s Bio Kyle Siemens is an energetic, loyal and hard-working Canadian from Winnipeg, Manitoba. After completing my Bachelor's degree at the University of Manitoba in German literature and mathematics, I moved to Berlin in 2006 with a DAAD scholarship and got my Masters in communication and languages. After working several years at various agencies (running campaigns for national and international brands), I stumbled upon an incredible path by chance, which led me to where I am today - Online Marketing Volunteer of the TMMi Foundation and CEO of a global ISTQB exam provider called Brightest: www.brightest.org. Reach out to Kyle on LinkedIn Re-Read Saturday News This week we tackled Chapter 10 of Actionable Agile Metrics for Predictability: An Introduction by Daniel S. Vacanti. Today we begin Part 3 with Chapter 10 which is titled, Introduction to Cycle Time Scatterplots. Scatterplots take us beyond the analysis of average cycle time (or even approximate average cycle time).  Scatterplots provide a visual representation of the data so we can begin to use the data to predict the future.  Remember to buy your copy today and read along, and we will be back next week!

Upcoming Webinars January 25, 2018 11 AM EST - 12:30 EST Agile: Leadership Required In this webinar, you will learn about the four leadership concepts that can double the chances that your agile transformation will be effective. Next SPaMCAST SPaMCAST 477 features our essay on silence.  Silence is a powerful tool to guide conversations and mine information from the stream of consciousness that flows around us. If silence was just a tool to improve our connections with people and to improve listening, it would be worth practicing. But, silence is also a tool to peer deeper into our minds. Silence improves relaxation and helps individuals to focus. We will also have columns from Kim Pries the Software Sensi and Gene Hughson of Form Follows Function.

We had a brief break in recording, but we’re back with another fun-filled fifty minutes where we take mailbag questions on the pros and cons of ISTQB certification, the impact of easy-to-create GUI tests on the testing pyramid, and whether or not you really need a data scientist.

We chat to Louise Perold about testing as a means to improve the overall quality of software, and the upcoming Let's Test conference Kenneth & Len chat to Louise Perold about the art & practice of software testing. Louise reframes testing in a wonderful light, and how testers compliment and support the existing software development efforts. There are many things that simply cannot be tested reliably with automated techniques, and we explore why. Louise has been helping teams write better software since the early 2000's, and is continuing on that journey today with her new consultancy and yearly conference. Louise is one of the proud members of [House of Test](https://www.houseoftest.rocks/en/), along with [Oz Chihwayi](/51). Louise is also one of the organisers of the local [Let's Test](http://lets-test.com/?page_id=5283) conference. Just a few of the tips offered by Louise for developers working with testers: * Talk, talk, talk * Testers can help clarify your thoughts on design, and help identify where the risks can be * Don't give a checklist of instructions, those are the tests that can be automated Louise definitely gave us a lot to think about, and we hope you feel the same way after the show.
