Update

Hey

I realise I haven’t blogged much recently; not surprising really. Lately I’ve been working very hard as test lead on a project here at DWS. This has left me without much time to blog or pretty much have a life; still, I’ve managed to continue planning my up-coming wedding and building a new house! I’ve had lots of ideas for Quality in Software, too.

Coming soon, I’ll be introducing a new series called Q-Ticks. These feature posts will contain tips and hints on how to get the most quality out of your projects.

Other things I’m looking towards are getting in to my study for the ISTQB (International Software Testing Quality Board) certification, blogging more about some of the basic principles of testing, and continuing on with my plan for Quality in Software this year.

Currently, Quality in Software gets its traffic from search queries and word of mouth. This year I’ll be making this site more publicly known. Some ways I’m considering are publishing on a blog listing web site as well as being a guest blogger on other sites.

Kind Regards
Glenn

The Conference

Hey

Earlier this year, I was away for a Christian conference. A regular of Quality in Software, Scott, asked that I talk some more about it. I don’t want to go in to too much detail as this forum is really focused on software quality but there is always some margin to escape that, so here goes…

I don’t know if you’ve ever been to a Christian conference before. They are essentially opportunities for people around the nation and beyond to learn and mingle.

The conference was about being the change within the community. Focusing on immersions and lectures, it sought to give delegates a good idea of how people struggle around the world; it was intended delegates would take the story back home with them.

I personally didn’t get a lot out of it. I wanted to attend the conference so that I would have a better understanding of some of the struggles people face in the world and a better understanding of how the Bible was understood back when it was written; I didn’t feel I came away with either of those. What I did get out of it was a better understanding of myself and who I am. I think that is of some value to me.

Kind Regards
Glenn
