I thought I would post some videos from the CAST 2007 testing conference. CAST stands for Conference of the Association of Software Testing. I was lucky enought to attend this past summer. At the conference there was a testing competition. The basic idea was we were given software and asked to test it. We had access to the developer and business owner (who happened to be the same person) as well as access to a bug tracking tool.

We could submit bugs using the tool and also gain extra points for doing a video presentation of some of the bugs as well as the techniques we used.

I wanted to toot my own horn here and say that we killed the competition. Nah - We pwned it!!!! My team (Team Canada) won first prize based on our bugs, techniques and test report. Unfortunately we couldn’t claim the $1500 cash prize because one person on our team was linked with the conference (in a very loose way). Thanks again Paul!!!!!

I wanted to post some of the videos that I was in during the competition. Here is the first one - talking about

There are more to follow - so stay tuned. I may even post the videos of the others on the team if they give me permission.
