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.

Testers need to learn their craft and hone in on their skill set. That means building skills, sharpening their tools, and becoming creative detectives. There is no cookie-cutter tester and no best practice. The best circumstance is a fully-skilled, aggressive tester mixed with curiosity, nimbleness, and agility.

Everything is mobile. What else can we say? Everything. If your product or service is currently not, it will be very soon. As Apple says: “There’s an app for that.” There is an app for everything. The race for mobile apps has consumed the software development world. I did a few projects at Palm Computing in the ...
