• “We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works.” – Douglas Adams

  Lisa the IT Support Dog The Importance of Exploratory Testing My first encounter with exploratory testing (ET) was in 2009, when I worked as a test consultant for a Swiss company. Someone had the wonderful idea of updating the system, which was stable and well tested, from plain .NET to Silverlight and migrating the database from something-or-other-that-was-thought-to-be-outdated to Oracle. At the same time. A few years earlier I’d had the pleasure of working with a great Finnish guy who held very strong opinions about the stupidity of making two major changes to a system at the same time. Opinions with which I fully agreed. One Friday afternoon I was sat with a fellow tester, a cool German chap, when the first delivery of the revamped system was made. The test manager on the project told us to do some ET, by which he meant ad‑hoc testing. Both of us testers had plenty of testing experience and had been on the project for over a year, and we set about our task with gusto. Within an hour we’d found about forty issues between us. The programmers, a very capable bunch, made some changes to the code to allow us to trace the problems more easily. Once again, we testers set about the task with enthusiasm – I do like finding bugs – and found another forty-or-so problems. That spelt the end of ET on the project.[1] Several years have passed since then, and the idea of what ET is, and what[…]

• The Struggle with Learning to Code

  This post is, belatedly, inspired by the Ministry of Testing blog idea: The Struggle with Learning to Code.  I have a Computer Science degree, and have been programming for a while.  (I started doing it as a hobby, and then studied it, and then got paid to do it.)  I struggle with learning to code, and have for a while. Really? Given my background, why do I struggle?  The simple answer is that there’s so much to learn.  What’s worse, my To Learn list gets bigger over time – new things are added to it more quickly than I can learn things off it. Learning to code is like walking up the down escalator Big divisions I started coding in BASIC, and then Z80 machine code.  After I graduated, my first job was writing C.  As a result, I was comfortable with procedural programming.  Switching to Object Oriented was a struggle, and took quite a while.  I had been taught OO at university, but it wasn’t in my mental muscle memory and instead took conscious thought over quite a while. Signs of someone still making this transition from procedural to OO are things like God classes, very long methods, anaemic models and so on. Another big division is functional programming, because it changes how you think about encapsulation, state, loops, breaking work down (things like currying functions) and so on. Recently I’ve dabbled in quantum computing, which is different again.  Code becomes probabilistic rather than deterministic.  The world is divided[…]
