AB Testing – Episode 35 Mar 15, 2016

Show notes

We’re baaaaack. This episode covers the one time when Alan was a developer, Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, balancing quality, collective ownership, and developer owned quality.

All in less than an hour.

AB Testing – Episode 34 Feb 12, 2016

Show notes

Another AB Testing podcast in the books (and on the web). This time, we discuss the nature of bugs, why we don’t want our testers back; and in the mailbag session, discuss our role in backlog grooming and planning.

AB Testing – Episode 33 Jan 12, 2016

Show notes

Happy new year. This blab-fest covers Star Wars, Fallout 4, straw man arguments, even more on Combined (or Unified!) Engineering, and why smart people do stupid things!

AB Testing – Episode 32: 2015 Year in review and Predictions episode Dec 18, 2015

Show notes

It’s the 2015 recap show, where Brent and Alan reflect on 2015, and make some predictions for 2016…and somehow take nearly an hour to do so.

AB Testing – Episode 31 Dec 05, 2015

Show notes

This episode includes a quick rant on tecking vs. chesting (or something like that), moving from predictive to adaptive, and the mailbag is back with a discussion on combined engineering.

AB Testing – Episode 30 Nov 20, 2015

Show notes

This episode is all about “stuff Alan and Brent did” – or at least it started that way until we start rambling. Quick recaps of the Strata conference, Eurostar, Redfin, and Riot all find their way into our discussion.

AB Testing – Episode 29: LIVE from the Redfin HQ Nov 10, 2015

Show notes

From the offices of Redfin in Seattle, Washington, Brent and Alan deliver the first ever AB Testing roadshow. Sound isn’t fantastic, and the content, as usual, isn’t very original, but I’m sure one of us said something that will raise your eyebrows.

Thanks to Evan and everyone else at Redfin for hosting us, feeding us pizza, and letting us yak aimlessly on a Friday afternoon (and for giving us the recording).

AB Testing – Episode 28 Sep 25, 2015

Show notes

Yet another installment of AB Testing (including what I think is a world record for AB Testing release velocity).

This episode includes another rant from Alan about dumb things people do at Microsoft, a long tangent on Alan’s music background that has no relevance whatsoever, and some discussion on upcoming public appearances from Brent and Alan – including the first ever AB Testing Roadshow.

AB Testing – Episode 27 Sep 04, 2015

Show notes

In their patented pattern of pure randomness, Alan and Brent talk about the context-driven school of testing, the video music awards, upcoming test conferences, and pointy-haired managers!

Errata: Lessons learned…came out in 2001 (not 2003 as Alan guessed on the show).

AB Testing – Episode 26 Aug 10, 2015

Show notes

Recorded in downtown Bellevue, WA…Alan and Brent talk about a talk – and Alan asks Brent questions from a sample ISTQB test.
