Consulting

As a consultant, I help companies better understand risks, alternatives, and consequences. That leads to better decisions. I usually work with test teams and test managers who want to be more effective at testing. I also consult with development managers and product architects.

Here are some things I can do:

Here is why I believe I am worth your consideration:


Training

I provide one off-the-shelf course, Developer Testing Techniques. (Click here for a PDF brochure.) I also develop custom courses to meet specific needs.

Developer Testing Techniques is one of the few testing courses targeted to developers. Most such courses seem to be repackaged general-purpose testing courses. I believe my course to be the most pragmatic one, because I teach it from the point of view of a developer.

My off-the-shelf and custom courses have these features:


Contract testing and programming

As a contractor, I stop talking about testing and sit down to actually do it. I deliberately vary the type of contract work I do. In one job, I might do purely manual product-level testing through the user interface ("black box testing"). In another, I might pair up with a programmer and write test programs to exercise some internal module ("white box testing"). In yet another, I might add code to the product that makes the black box tester's job easier ("testability code"). I lower my fees if a contract gives me the opportunity to learn new things.
