Where are the Good Testers?

I work in a profile where I am responsible for hiring testers at all levels. During this process, many times I take interviews and at other times, I supervise the interview process. But most of the time, I hear “interviewers” complaining that none of the candidates were good testers and hence too many rejections. Is it really true? Do we really have less number of good testers?
The HALF-BAKED truth about Open Source Tools

Open Source Tools are always considered a low cost solution to all automation problems. But are they really 100% solutions to all your problems? Do they themselves not have issues, which kind of make the life of the user, aka tester, miserable? Are they really beneficial over Commercial tools? This article discuss about few such questions. So, saying that “open source tools may be a good option to consider” is just a Half-Baked Truth, when we don’t fully know what they offer for real.
Assuring Quality in Agile

Agile testing is a philosophical concept that emphasizes communication, flexibility and collaboration, over process. The emphasis is on external factors like the customer and the finished product. Agile development recognizes that testing is not a separate phase, but an integral part of software development, along with coding. Agile teams use a "whole-team" approach to "baking quality in" to the software product.

Testing in Production

When it comes to software services testing, there are typically two opposing camps: those who prefer testing in a closed lab environment to make it as close to production as possible, and those who prefer testing in production (TiP). Although this second approach may seem like a riskier process, it actually enables an organization to quickly detect and respond to problems before they impact users. This white paper explores various TiP methodologies and provides real-world examples of how leading software services companies are deploying them.
