Quotes on Software Testing
- People with conviction are much harder to find than people with ideas. Ideas are easy. Willingness to take risks on an idea is rare (Scott Berkun)

Hello Huib,
how are you? It has been 10 years that i am in software testing. Back in 2007, i came across the context-driven approach to testing. I read a lot at that time and tried to introduce it to the enterprise that i was working with at that time (Bank UBS). I had some success BUT generally, i become worn out (so to speak) by the way the IT industry was doing ‘testing’. You guys call it ‘factory testing’. I agree! I mean it has face validity!
Yes! i became really tired , i decided to quit (well kind of), and do something else. I was always interested in social science.. So, i pursued my studies in sociology, political science and a bit of philosophy! but arrival of my son and trying to meet the ends, i returned to IT again. Since last year, i read a lot about people’s blog and articles related to C.D approach! – But i came across yours because you were giving a talk about testing and social science! So, i liked it a lot and kind of related myself to it! so, that is why i decided to contact you. Now , that you even offer coaching, that is even better! i am up to it.. if you are!
ps: by the way, my home is Canada but living in Africa at the moment(west). Not forever. I will return to Canada soon. The reason I am saying that is because sometimes internet connection, here in Africa, is not that good! But we can try anyway. Contact me please to see when I can get some coaching!
cheers,
Siavash Solati
