What’s up for 2013?
In the lab we will have a lot of work. Aim is to spend the effort on the right tasks – this will be vital. We have to write some scripts. Afterwards they are used to test by our testers, who work in pairs of two. Anyway, someone is missing and we have the opportunity to hire someone. Who will bring new knowledge to the team?

Testing – how to develop my skills
There is not much time to sharpen the saw and so I have to focus on some points. I will take time to watch the BBST movies by Cem Kaner. http://www.testingeducation.org/BBST/ if possible I try to take a course and do a certificate of the BBST at http://www.associationforsoftwaretesting.org/training/schedule/.
Maybe there is the chance to get to one or two conferences. First priority would be http://lets-test.com/ because the feedback for last years conf was great. Second prio is, of course, http://www.swisstestingday.ch/ because it’s just nearer, shorter and more affordable.
