#GarethSouthgateWould as a Software Tester

Gareth Southgate has impressed me massively over the past few weeks. The empathy and compassion he has shown to other players, the way he has made this tournament about the team and not about any individual is amazing.



I was reading the #GarethSouthgateWould hashtags on Twitter and there were some classics in there. I'll let you read them for yourselves, but I thought it would be cool to make it themed towards testing, here are some I came up with off the top of my head... Though I am sure there are more.

#GarethSouthgateWould - Ensure that automated checks clean up after themselves

#GarethSouthgateWould - Share with other testers blogs and articles they have read that they enjoyed

#GarethSouthgateWould - go through and remove any Thread.Sleeps from any automated checks

#GarethSouthgateWould - Take time out to help another tester who is struggling with something, even when he doesn't know the solution.

It made me realise that these are all things that a caring and compassionate good tester should do anyway, these are things that I like to think I would do anyway.

What else would Gareth Southgate the software tester do!?

Testers: Be more like a Super-Villain!

Who doesn't love a Super Hero? Talk to my son, and he'll tell you how much he loves them, talk to many adults and they'll say the same! Deep down, we all love to be the Super Hero, we all want to save the day! However, I want to talk about the flip side of Super Heroes, the Super Villains... I often play Imaginext with my son, and I (unfortunately?) am nearly always the Super Villain! Be it Lex Luthor, Joker, Two Face, Mr Freeze or The Riddler! These are all great characters and great Super Villains, but why would I want to write about Super Villains? A while ago where I worked, we had a few Super Heroes, people who would be able to come in and "fix" things that had broken and help deliver projects on time. We then shifted, we decided to do away with the Super Hero culture and try and prevent from being in that position in the first place, whilst we didn't go as far as wanting to hire Super Villains, it's definitely a story that has stuck with me and t...

Start with the End in Mind - My first presentation at a tech meetup!

I was at a football coaching session the other night, and some other coaches put on a training session for us, so that we could learn and critique it. This is not an easy thing to do, to put something on for your peers and open yourself up to criticism is a difficult thing to do. One of the comments from the president of the club was that in order to develop yourself you need to push yourself and step outside of your comfort zone which it was evident that these coaches were doing. I took this to heart in many ways, a few weeks ago I signed up to do a presentation at a meetup that was only a couple of meetups old, The QE Roundabout . I was in contact with Zoe Canning (the event organiser) and I knew it was something I wanted to do, but it's like anything, saying you want to do something and then putting yourself in a position to do it are sometimes two very different things. Anyway, I volunteered to do one, the theme was Automation & Architecture, and we were free to ta...

Delusions of Testing

So I've got in touch with my old QA friend, Richard Lee and we spoke about guest blogging on each others blogs... Richard is an IT Professional for a FinTech based company in London. His activities vary from Release Manager, Build Manager, Database Administrator. Working in a Microsoft workshop, his expertise lies in MSBuild/Workflow/Powershell/SSAS/SSIS/SSRS/SQL, basically whatever isn’t anyone elses’ problem is Richard's problem! When not solving other peoples problems he can be found blogging at redphoenix.me , and jogging to and from home, where he lives with his heavily pregnant wife. Hello, my name is Richard, and I am a former tester. Like most people and their careers, I fell into testing; I first got into testing about 6 years ago, after I had graduated. I went to a university where the attitude was that you should try to get on a graduate scheme with one of the big companies. If you weren’t interested in that, well, good luck with getting any support from ...
