Letter from the Editor – November 2010

Hi everyone and welcome to our fourth edition of LogiGear Magazine. This month we finish Michael Hackett’s piece on “Agile in Testing” with part five, Tools.

I think this makes for a nice conclusion to a very exhaustive piece on what testers can expect when they are thrust into an Agile
Development project. We also have more exciting interviews from leading professors in computer science; this month we interview Computer Scientist D. Richard Kuhn, who shares with us his thoughts on combinatorial testing methods, very interesting stuff.

Hope you continue to enjoy our magazine; we are working hard at trying to make it one of the best in the testing industry. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and all the best in the coming New Year.

When we first decided to do a magazine issue dedicated to the DevOps practice of Continuous Testing, I joked with someone: “It’s about testing continuously.” And their reply was: “Yeah. What else would it be?” I was joking, but clearly the joke didn’t land. Continuous Testing is about testing continuously, ...
I spend about half my work time in the role of a consultant assessing, auditing and examining software development team practices and processes for the purpose of process improvement.

I was just recently at a company that had a beautiful test architecture, framework, and Cucumber with tons of well-automated tests.

API testing– an old school technology gets way cool again. APIs and testing them is nothing new; the technology has been around for decades.
