On the testingpodcast.com website I maintain, I recently added a new podcast – Let’s Talk About Tests, Baby.

This podcast by Gem Hill has 28 episodes as of this writing – with new episodes aimed at once a week.

I have started posting episodes from the very beginning. Since I try not to post more than once per day on the site (a new podcast file to listen to requires more time commitment than reading a short post), it will take me some time to catch up. Especially with the other podcasts posting new episodes. Of special note, the first eleven episodes were published so that only episode 2 is able to be loaded from the RSS feed.

Software Test Professionals fall conference to be held in Boston October 5-8, 2015, has an upcoming deadline for proposals. The form for a proposal is fairly straightforward and can be filled out quickly. As I have said before, speaking at a conference is a great professional development opportunity.

SD Times had an article in the February 2015 edition entitled NASA’s 10 rules for developing safety-critical code. It seemed familiar but I thought I would do a blog post. First thing I did was look up the original paper – which was published back in 2006. It seemed even more familiar. Reason why – see my post from 2011 – The Power of Ten –- Rules for Developing Safety Critical Code.
