James Bach
I work with project teams and individual engineers to help them plan SQA, change control, and testing processes that allow them to understand and control the risks of product failure. Most of my experience is with market-driven Silicon Valley software companies like Apple Computer and Borland, so the techniques I've gathered and developed are designed for use under conditions of compressed schedules, high rates of change, component-based technology, and poor specification. ABSTRACT
You're already an experienced tester. You know how to design tests and report bugs. Now what? Do you feel like an expert? Unfortunately, if you want to become very good at...

Thanks James and Google for making available a very informative presentation with good quality of recording. I am a validation guy and obviously impressed by James's knowlegebility and thinking.
As a candid criticism (James will like this!) would this presentation "crash" without so many "I", "my" and "me"s ?

This presentation ... ( 11 months ago by klopizu09)

This presentation is in my opinion a complete philosophical lecture. It's mainly a egocentric view of his personal career and more a marketing demo or best case a kind of personal coaching. The value I got from the approx. 58 minutes invested for my testing job is minimal.

Wow.. The video is really informative for me as em planning to do specialisation in SQA. Cheers 4 James

Great video but all i see is the "I, Me , My conversation. Self centered presentation.

This guy is so ... ( 8 months ago by stoonen)

This guy is so arrogant. He does not talk about testing but only about himself. I don't care what knowledge he has on his little terrain, an expert would not shout like that and treat his public as idiots. I could have spend this hour better than i did watching this video.
P.s. James, please look up the definition of cognitive science.

The thing with ... ( 8 months ago by Cyreath)

The thing with James is you never feel he's telling you the answers, to whatever problem you might be looking for him to answer, or exactly how to go about testing.
He leaves it open to you to take on what he's saying, agree or not, draw on your own experience and come up with 'your' way. Even in his books it's the same.

Horrible lecture or ... ( 6 months ago by gharikrishnan)

Horrible lecture or whatever this is... firstly the guy never explains anything, secondly he just keeps shifting from one topic to another.. Thirdly he just keeps boasting about himself.. Seems like he is talking to recruiters to hire him!!! One thing i dont know if he is a Testing Expert (which i doubt, after he continuously telling like he is doubtful) But certainly he is not a good mentor or a teacher.. And he is certainly a bad person to explain something to a crowd!!

It's good to hear info about this topic, but it is a little CHEEZY. :)

I just dont feel too agreeable about this Talk. How come a man that does not have any Upper level education will come to anyone that has been tested in an Academic Setting and say that he is an authority?
First of all, James...Get a degree, Test your knowledge against others in a University, stop being so arrogant...and stop giving talks about things you dont have a clue about...better, Become a Motivational speaker for depressed Housewives, you will do better in there. Get a Degree, BUM!!!

Without trying to be offensive, the standards are to get a certification.
Just because your experience is more profound than a judge or lawyer's (whose expertise is in civil law) does not imply that your superiority is above and beyond the industry norm.
Even if you weren't certified, I would be more impressed with a membership in ASQ. Even the most "elite" belong to their respective societies/organizations; and certs are an industry specific standard. Are you really above industry standards?
