SDL Meetup – “Software Testing for Business Leaders”

“There is only two ways to write code. Edit and pray, or test and verify.”

– Michael Feathers, Working Effectively with Legacy Code

For our second Software Development Leadership (SDL) Meetup, we were thrilled to have ABODO.com’s Vice President of Engineering, Louie Penaflor (@restlessthinker), present on the topic of software testing. ABODO is a rapidly growing Madison startup with the mission of creating a new, better way to find apartments. Louie’s presentation slide deck can be seen here.

Key topics covered included:

• Today’s software landscape
• De-risking software projects
• Developing and investigating team culture
• QA best practices
• “Software Quality at Top Speed“

FarWell will continue to provide quarterly Meetups for area software development managers and leaders. Our goal is to keep the group as peer-driven as possible. If you have any ideas for future discussion topics, or would like to be a featured presenter, please let us know.

Future discussion topics include:

• Integrating architecture into projects
• Metrics/ITIL/CMMI
• Iterative programming and design
• Business intelligence
• Release planning
