EXPERIENCE
21 years of computer-related work, first as a graduate student in Experimental Psychology (running the lab and working out ways to improve software usability), then Silicon Valley after I finished my Ph.D. research in 1983, now as a Professor of Software Engineering at the Florida Institute of Technology. I've worked as a:
Graduate students (M.Sc. and Ph.D. studies) and talented undergrads focused on software testing research, in a Computer Sciences department that offers students a strong foundation in software testing.
Our main current project is on software testing education, see www.testingeducation.org.
Were also very interested in deepening our understanding of (and are currently doing research on) high-volume test automation, scenario testing, failure modes for wireless applications, a risk-based approach to domain testing, and the new generation of open source test tools that operate below the GUI and foster stronger tester/programmer collaboration.
SPECIAL SKILLS
I have a strong background in management consulting (team building, recruiting, interviewing, planning, risk management, the usual stuff), but its unlikely that you would be able to retain me for those types of services at this point.
My primary interests as a professor are to advance the state of practice in software testing by:
To learn what they need to learn, my students need practical experience, including internships and real-life projects.
SERVICES
I'm less available for general consulting now that I am a full-time professor.
I'm interested in working with agile or XP project teams, especially if they have room for one or more of my students. I'm also introduced in teaching courses on black box testing and on software metrics. At Florida Tech, I also teach a course on advanced testing (test-driven development, application of Cunninghams FIT took, etc.) but this isn't yet ready for off-campus commercial presentation.
If you're curious about whether I would be appropriate for your company, get in touch with me by voice or by e-mail. We can have some direct, honest discussions. I don't accept contracts if I don't have confidence that I can provide excellent service.

EXPERIENCE
11 years as programmer, tester, and line manager. Owner of Testing Foundations since 1992.
SPECIAL SKILLS
Test design, developer testing, sensible use of coverage, helping
with gradual improvement of skills, custom course development.
SERVICES
I maintain a mix among pure consulting (talking with people about what to do), contracting (sitting down and actually doing something), and training (providing short courses that describe how I approach testing problems). Developer (code-aware) testing has been a specialty in the past, though I also spend a good deal of time on independent product ("black box") testing. In recent years, a considerable amount of my work has been with mass-market software.

SERVICES:
The two models of value-added services we offer are: Outsourcing and On-Site Contracting.
Our Outsourcing Services consist of Project-Based or Function-Based and Compatibility Lab Resource solutions.
Based in our facility, we form a team dedicated exclusively to a specific project. This team functions as an extended resource to client development or SQA teams. Function-based outsourcing is similar to the project-based model; however, instead of being assigned to a specific project the assigned team is responsible for a specific development or testing function over several projects on an ongoing basis.
We offer our lab services in two ways:
- We assign a test team, provide equipment resources, and our facility over a specific period of time to allow completion of a specific compatibility test suite.
- Alternately, we dedicate exclusively a lab manager and our lab facility to be used by client on a time and schedule basis. Our test lab facility becomes a virtual extension to client development or SQA teams.
On-site Contracting Services include our client-managed engineering staff and SQA management consulting.
We place experienced staff on-site to be managed by client development teams.
We assign a senior consultant on-site to work with client management staff to help build or audit a pre-existing SQA infrastructure. This is typically a shorter-term arrangement to provide specific recommendations to effectively build and manage a successful SQA organization and process.
OTHER SERVICES:
Our training solutions consist of several practical and well-received software-testing courses that we develop and offer publicly through LogiGear as well as reputable universities such as the UC Berkeley Extension. We also offer our courses at the client's site. The success of our program is credited to our unique method of curriculum development. We combine textbook methodology, extensive research and real world testing experience. We continue to build on our success by developing additional courses that enable us to share new technologies and techniques we learn from our day-to-day involvement with software testing and development organizations.
To compliment our services and training programs, we have a dedicated development team to research, design and produce testing support tools and utilities to help improve testing efficiency. Our goal is to make these products useful, easy-to-use and affordable to even the smallest companies.

SPECIAL SKILLS
Questcon Technologies is a Mercury Interactive Quality Channel Partner:
offering training and consultation in test automation with Mercury
Interactive tools.
Questcon consultants support all types of client-server and internet
application
testing.
SERVICES
Questcon Technologies provides a full spectrum of software quality
assurance and
testing services to our clients. At the heart of our business are two
principles:
System Testing |
Intersystem Testing |
Configuration Management |
Release Control |
Release Tracking
Software Quality Assessments |
Database Administration |
Project Coordination
System Testing
Questcon Technologies employees are unparalleled in their system test
efforts
and experience. The system test effort continues simultaneously with
development
efforts. The system test teams analyze the technical specifications and
write
the necessary test plans, test designs, and test cases. Often the test
documents
can be reused as regression tests in later efforts.
Intersystem Testing
This type of testing is often referred to as "end-to-end" testing of
multiple
systems. Intersystem testing validates the interdependencies of software
systems
and verifies data flow from each entry point to each exit point.
Configuration Management
Questcon Technologies provides configuration management processes by
controlling
the software environment. Maintaining a "production-like" test environment
and
delivering the code to production from a test staging area keeps software
modules
from being sent to end-users untested.
Release Control
Release control allows the team to develop and test software modules in a
predefined and methodical approach. It ensures the most critical modules
are
developed first and all inter-module dependencies are developed
simultaneously.
Without release control, the modules with the highest risk are usually the
last
ones developed and/or tested.
Release Tracking
Too often, software releases are developed without regard to the entire
system.
Our release tracking efforts provide all team members with an understanding
of
the effort involved as well as the system architecture. Release tracking is
imperative to maintaining control of the emerging product.
Software Quality Assessments
Defining and successfully implementing a rigorous software quality
assurance
process is at the heart of successful product development. Our consultants
will
analyze your existing processes, identify the successes and failures, and
recommend cost-effective solutions to your software quality problems.
Database Administration
More and more frequently, software is developed within the supporting
databases
(i.e., stored procedures, password administration, views etc.). Questcon
Technologies has an experienced staff of trained database administrators
that
can build, develop, optimize and test all of your database needs.
Project Coordination
Questcon Technologies' expertise in software QA and testing provides a
unique
and effective approach to project coordination. On many projects, the
development
window expands only to reduce the test effort. Our project coordination
efforts
help alleviate this problem by tracking test milestones within the
development effort.
