The Irrational Tester
Testers make decisions every day that are just as irrational as those made by the managers about whom they complain. In this video, James Lyndsay presents his view of tester bias, such as: why we so often labor under the illusion of control, how we lock onto the behaviors we're looking for, and how two testers can use the same evidence to support opposing positions.

Large-scale Exploratory Testing: Let's Take a Tour
Manual testing is the best way to find the bugs most likely to bite users badly after a product ships. However, manual testing remains a very ad hoc, aimless process. At a number of companies across the globe, groups of test innovators gathered in think tank settings to create a better way to do manual testing--a way that is more prescriptive, repeatable, and capable of finding the highest quality bugs. The result is a new methodology for exploratory testing based on the concept of tours throu...

If your processes and tools deliver software that your customers value, does it matter how "agile" you are? In this video, Jonathan Kohl looks at why and for whom we develop software, what our end users and team members value, and the difference between tools and processes that create value and those that distract from it.
