Letter from the Editor – September 2010

By LogiGear Corporation | Sep 1, 2010October 28, 2020 | Letter from the Editor

We launched the first ever software testing conference in Vietnam, VISTACON. It was a resounding success, with well over 200 participants and 20+ speakers from around the globe; each speaking on a wide range of cutting-edge testing topics. In this month’s magazine, we have uploaded several video recordings of event presentations – giving our readers a small peak into our inaugural event.

Also in this issue we continue Michael Hackett’s five part series on Agile for Tester. In part three, Michael talks about what testers will encounter around the various practices and processes while testing an application in Agile. For testers working in an Agile development process, this is essential reading – we look forward to bringing you parts four and five in the coming issues.
Lastly, I’m excited to announce that LogiGear will begin to solicit outside article contributions for future magazine issues – we feel that getting additional material from testing experts and practitioners in the software testing industry only furthers our mission to publish the most interesting, relevant and unique material on all things software testing.

Letter From The Editor - June 2020

Continuous Testing… what is it? 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 am regularly surprised to find teams that lack basic skills, management support, tools, information, access to users, Product Owners and to developers. And yet they’re ...

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.

Letter from the Editor - July 2013

In our continuing effort to be the best source of information for keeping testers and test teams current, we have another issue to explore testing in Agile development. As Agile evolves, systemic problems arise and common rough situations become apparent. We want to provide solutions. For anyone who has worked on Agile projects, especially if ...

Letter from the Editor - August 2014

Testing Embedded systems and testing the Internet of Things could each have their own issue of LogiGear magazine. But these days they are referred to presupposing knowledge of the other, so we thought it would be a good idea to tackle the two together in this issue to give a broad understanding of the landscape ...

Letter from the Editor - December 2015

Every year, LogiGear Magazine devotes one full issue to Test Automation. We could do more than one, and perhaps even that would not be enough. The problems around automation have become increasingly complex. And now, automation is much more integrated into the software development process. For over a decade teams have been faced with “do ...

Letter from the Editor - October 2010

Hello everyone – I’m hoping each one of us is having a great October. This time of the year is always my favorite, with the changing of the seasons, Fall was always my favorite time of year; it signified change and renewal – but I don’t want to digress to much from what’s going on ...

Letter from Editor - December 2016

Our plan for the December LogiGear Magazine was to have a forward-looking Trends and Challenges issue. However, whilst assembling our September issue on SMAC, we realized the momentum SMAC was gaining in the industry. We had a large amount of content on our hands from a range of excellent contributors. Thus, we decided to split ...

A while ago, I helped start a Software Quality Certificate Program as a part of the Software Engineering Program at the University of California, Santa Cruz Extension in Silicon Valley. I was on the Board of Advisors. While putting the curriculum together, a few people suggested a Measurement and Metrics course. Since I was teaching ...

Letter from the Editor – September 2018

As part of my work, I spend a lot of time at client’s sites and talk to various software development organizations. I am beginning to see a problem arise regarding Test Automation. There is too much automation! Surprised? While there are still many teams struggling to make progress with Test Automation, many teams have been doing ...

Letter from the Editor - December 2012

In the November 2011 issue: Mobile Application Testing, I began my column with the statement, “Everything is mobile.” One year later the statement is even more true. More devices, more platforms, more diversity, more apps. It boggles the mind how fast the landscape changes. Blackberry has been kicked to the curb by cooler and slicker ...

Letter from the Editor - September 2015

In every year since 2011, we have devoted one edition of our magazine to the topic of mobile testing. In this year’s issue on mobile, we focus on testing from the point of view of the user experience. Most teams start with UI testing, and it may seem basic — until you look at the ...
