Software Systems do not Work Well…
As a rule, software systems do not work well until they have been used, and have failed repeatedly, in real applications. Dave Parnas, Communications of the ACM (33, 6 June 1990 p.636)

MSTest vs. NUnit with Visual Studio 2010 & TDD
This post will compare MSTest to NUnit in Visual Studio 2010 to see how the two frameworks stack up from the perspective of those three criteria.
Coding and Testing: Testers and Programmers Working Together
The idea of driving development with tests has been popularized by the agile development movement. The fact is that testing and coding are inseparable components of software development. We get the best results with testers and programmers work closely together. How can we deliver real value to the business frequently? How can we know how much testing is enough? Let’s look at how testers and programmers collaborate to produce high-quality software.
gasq – Global Association for Software Quality
gasq (Global Association for Software Quality) is an international, member-based, non-profit association, a so-called “AISBL” (international association without financial interest). It is officially registered with the Belgian and European authorities. It is a non-governmental organization and has not received any government subsidies to be set up. Founding members of gasq come from all of Europe, but also from The Americas and Asia. The main goal of gasq is to support software quality in research, teachings and industry. http://www.gasq.org/
Agile Testing
Some authors are good at presenting theories but unable to connect them to practice. Other are good at telling stories from the trenches, but without being able to produce an analysis of the situation and propose some solutions. On the less examined domain of agile testing, Lisa Crispin and Janet Gregory are, luckily for us, presenting a book that covers both the personal experience of being a tester in agile projects and a conceptual vision of the place of quality assurance in software projects. Thus you will find in this book “stories” that comes from past projects and “mind maps” that helps to have a high-level vision of the material of each chapter.
