President's Ballroom "Testing Outside the Bachs"
James and Jonathan Bach
James and Jonathan Bach will demonstrate how to conduct exploratory software testing in this interactive general session. One of the Bachs will test a product for 20 minutes and record the process. The other will test the same product for 20 minutes in front of the audience, while his brother narrates the process. (Bring your laptop and join along!) We'll then compare what each found, and compare it with what the audience found. This session will demonstrate
how exploratory testing can be a disciplined and manageable process. JAMES BACH is a pioneer in the discipline of exploratory software testing and a founding member of the Context-Driven School of Testing. He's a co-author of Lessons Learned in Software Testing: A Context-Driven Approach and the author of How I Learn Stuff: Secrets of A Buccaneer-Scholar. JON BACH has been testing software and managing testers for 14 years and is most famous for inventing a way to manage and measure exploratory testing in a method known as session-based test management.
