Hear from them...

James has been a great leader in Testing. He has been a thought-provoker, challenger, questioner, coach, trainer and more importantly invaluable in my learning about testing. I can still remember my days where I bought “Lessons learned in software testing during 2009” and every night I used to read the lessons before I fell asleep. They are still relevant today which can provoke thinking in your brain. To upskill my testing, I also took his Rapid Software Testing class to dig deeper about testing and this class is highly recommended for any tester in my strong opinion. The superlatives are less for a testing leader like James Bach who cares for testers education. If you ever find his time, make sure you learn testing from him.

I got introduced to James on a Saturday morning in my office when I searched for “how to be a software testing expert”. This was my first weekend after getting hired as Associate QA Enginner way back in 2006. Thanks to Google, one of the videos was “Becoming a software testing expert” by James Bach. The next one hour literally has changed my life. James makes you realise that reputation is important than money and teaches you ways to build your reputation. Thanks to his coaching methods and grilling methods in training, one comes out sharpened, skilled and ready for any testing challenge. You will start loving testing and add enormous value to your projects and organization along with building a personal brand.

I can summarize the influence that James and Michael has on me in on sentence. They taught me ‘how to think and solve things myself’. That made me more of an independent thinker. Before asking anything to James…. I would ask myself “How can i find it myself”.
