15 OCT 2025 · https://www.linkedin.com/in/fionacharles/ is an absolute legend in the software testing world and I had the honor of sitting down with her to discuss tech ethics, the human side of technology, her adventures with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Weinberg, and her award winning storied career.
Fiona is an encyclopedia of software delivery techniques for communication, risk management, and how to delivery projects with integrity. I'll do my best to add in all the links to every resource she mentioned so enjoy!
14 JUN 2025 · https://www.alessandramoreira.com/home is one of my oldest friends in the testing world, we got to know each other when we were elected to the https://associationforsoftwaretesting.org/ Board of Directors together and then hung around in NYC while we worked at various companies and consultancies.
She has always been a fantastic hands-on engineer in testing, and we see a LOT in common when it comes to talking to the business about the value of testing. Her newsletter https://www.roadlesstested.com/ is on my list of “must read” testing blogs and she co-hosts the https://www.engineeringqualitypodcast.com/episodes podcast with a couple of her pals, so listen as we talk selling testing to the business, life after testing "death", and what it takes to lead quality engineering teams in this brave new world...enjoy!
25 MAY 2025 · These days, your philosophy about testing is more important than ever and a differentiator in the software testing market. Santosh Tuppad has been leading from the front since I first met him as a rising star at Moolya and through his workshops on security testing with me in the Bronx or in Germany with the Afghan Girls Robotics team.
Come take a listen as we talk about the current state of testing skills training in our business, cyber security in the age of AI, and travel far off the beaten path into philosophy, true happiness as a tester, and how many cheese fries is enough...
Enjoy!

His https://clarotesting.wordpress.com/ is a "must read" for any serious software tester, and his clear-eyed work on investigating the https://clarotesting.wordpress.com/the-post-office-horizon-it-scandal/ (including his https://clarotesting.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/use-of-evidence-generated-by-software-in-criminal-proceedings-james-d-christie-final-v3.pdf) is the benchmark our community should be striving for when it comes to integrity, ethics, and professional standards.
Listen in as we discuss what went wrong at the Post Office, good evidence, the role of government in technology, the brewing collision between regulation and IT, and how after so long in this business you can keep your teeth sharp! Enjoy!
