About
I spent a good amount of my college career hanging out at Cem Kaner’s house talking testing and sipping homemade lattes. And boy, Cem makes a mean latte! But before all this, in the beginning when I first started working with Cem, he generously invited me to a few of his LAWST style peer-workshops. I didn’t think I could participate given my level of experience at the time, but I ended up making an impression on the people there. They eventually started growling at me, and started calling me and a few fellow students “wolves” because we would sink our teeth into problems and not let go. I took the name and ran with it, and am now “one of the wolves,” referring to how I was brought up in the testing world. The name is a testament of my ability (or at least their opinion of it) as well as a token of appreciation for the people who graciously welcomed me to their community. Thank you, Cem and all.
I Like your site James
Nice blog Tim! You should get it included in TestingReflections.com I think you would get a wider audience there.
Tim,
I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it many times again — Everything you write, every question you ask, and every comment you share proves several things:
1) We “super-geek, mega-experienced, hyper-studied testers” are not living out in some fantasy world that only we can understand.
2) All testers need to keep up with the so-called “thought-leaders” is a passion for testing and an open mind.
3) No matter how many years/experiences our junior, you belong every bit as much as the rest of us.
Keep up the blogging - Your voice will have more influence with more people than I suspect you can currently imagine.
Scott
