This is still one of the best videos you can find regarding Software Testing!

This guy has contents of a tutorial with a mix of standup comedy and pinch of Ted Talks and its a perfect MASTERCLASS.

It is 2023 and this is still a great lecture!!!

Never before this lecture I have been more convinced that academic success has a lot to do with the teacher. James Bach has the ability to make a TESTING SOFTWARE lecture than is 90 minutes long an incredibly interesting and engaging activity. Only if every teacher had an ability like that - the subject doesn't matter. It's the lecturer that makes it boring or interesting and engages his students!

Just started to get more interested in "official" software testing when I found this video..wow. What an educated slap in the face that was! Big thanks to him, I'll be a better tester now!

I got into testing world around 5 months ago. I must admit that before i was too snob with testing because i was only "coding coding coding" and "who needs a tester" but after i searched and studied about it and worked on it i started loving testing and enjoying it so so much that I'm thinking to follow this path. I must also say that this lecture was really inspiring and motivating. It's not about the subject that is boring but about the teacher who makes the lecture boring and this guy right there is definitely not one of them. Great lecture!

This man convinced me of his greatness... Education needs people like this who are inspiring and proud of what they do.

Amazing content, James Bach is an absolute joy to listen to. He is able to engage so well with the audience and is always trying to be as most practical as possible.

One of the best talks I ever saw. Both entertaining and insightful. A true master! Teach me Sensei! :D

I enjoyed this lecture with all of my heart! So skillful!

That. Was. AMAZING!!!! Thank you for sharing this!!!

So GREAT lecture! Thank you so much for this! Great speech

He is a very good lecturer, I just wished my lecturers and my old uni was like that. He just keep you engaged all the time, I like hes lecturing style a lot!!

I have respect for Mr. Bachs ability to form very accurate metaphors.

Great speaker!!! Great Person! Winderful material!!!

I love this so much. Never have I ever related to something so much. It is a conquest indeed sir! They get butt hurt when I test their software but damnit do you want me to test it or not? I swear you explained exactly how I think and perceive things as a tester and no one else gets it...finally! Excellent talk, thank you! You should write another book!

The best advice about testing I've heard so far.

I love lectures like that. P.S When I'm drunk I speak the same way)

This is highly correct and one of the better vidoes on software testing. Thumbs Up!

every tester should watch this once :) awesome :)

Excellent lecture few good points made and will use it.

This video really cleared up my thought process of quality testing

Entertaining and fascinating. Thanks for sharing!

tough crowd. Great talk! You really inspired me to get into this field.. I know some programming but never really liked to develop so I never really got into working at it. But what you said here really hits home for me so testing here I come!

+PIneapple29 the fact that he just told them the classes they are taking are useless probably has something to do with it

A man sharing his knowledge and who is passionate about what he does 😀. No interest in testing but I admire someone who pursues their passion and influences those around them.

Thank you for your work!

I've just learned a lot now. Great lecture.

Actually, I regret my previous comment - this is the second video with J. Bach that I've watched and the man really knows a lot about testing.

This video makes me feel proud of being a tester!! ya'y

Incredible video.. thank you.

wonderful lecture on different aspects of software testing

OMG!!!!!! My favorite QA video!!!! I absolutely love this dude!

Thank you so much! This is AMAZING!!!

best video yet I've seen by him

Fun software testing tips. Thanks!

This was great, thanks!

Thank you James

I love this guy.

Brillant!

Its free and its informative ... good for inspiring

If this isn't the most educational speech on software testing ever, I don't know what is

I was there :) Great guy, really liked his lecture

a good lecturer that isn't boring :)

one of the best lectures

Thank You I learned something new today

Interesting things about testing. A must!

This professor is a great !!!

Solid Gold!

Dude, this guy is AWESOME!

amazing !!

Superb presentation on incompetence and sloppines of academia

what a powerful speaker

this should be the first video that shows up when you search software QA

Просто превосходно ! Очень интересно рассказывает !

very usefull lecture. Thanks

Brilliant.

Ah luckily James Bach has arrived and we got a revolution in testing. I hate people like this that are full of themselves and the IT industry is full of them.

Awesome!!!!!!!

Great video for the testers

Excellent lecture

que buen video. Lo vi hasta el final y sin entender al 100% el ingles, imaginense que yo, ni en español leo algo hasta el final.

Love his part about "unwritten requirements," as I see tons of testers really mess this concept up. With his example of a medical device stated to work at a certain voltage, there is an unwritten requirement of "quality" that is implied that it shouldn't blow up if it goes outside the voltage. We don't just blindly test requirements; requirements give us a guideline, but we need to really expand.and read BEYOND the lines to achieve a "quality" product.

Was the calculator working before you dropped it? How far did it drop? What did it drop on?

Much better lecture than that other one. If the arrogance and irrelevant self-promotion is removed from this one, then it's pretty accurate for a partial look into software testing. And he's giving away some of my best "tricks".

I only recently took the foundation ISTQB and joined the ranks as a tester, in UK. this videos is almost 11 years old, considering his stance on the general understanding/application of testing etc, have things changed?

it was very interesting lecture

Thanks for that kick,,,,,reminder on testing.

Great.

Amazing video =)

I would pick the calculator up and turn it on. If it came to life I would do a quick 9 x 9 and see if it gave me 81 and then I would flex its case to see if the cct board was cracked and test it again with 22/7.

excellent.

Thanks you sir....!

Testing runs through your veins. Test Bach !

I am James Bach! I don't do anything except relentlessly promote myself and instantly dismiss anything that varies even minutely from my own narrow worldview! And incidentally have I mentioned that I am a high school dropout enough times?

It's tough to operate at this energy level. How do you avoid burnout & not go communication free for a week after holding such a high energy lecture

A blog post about my notes and conclusions of the lecture @ the blog: sqroot.eu

He is the best.

I never got the impression that he was talking about anything but fuzz testing. When he talks about automated test tools I felt he was purely speaking from the context of fuzz testing, not unit testing and TDD. This is more integration and QA testing focused. Although I think he is also speaking from years of experience that probably started before TDD was as common. Even then TDD does not ensure bug free software.

only perfect man would be grateful if he will point out errors =)

awsume..!!

Good lecture - solid principles. But nothing wrong with ISTQB. Good for testers to see both sides of the coin.

Does anybody know about the communities he mentioned that could help a beginner tester?

Possibly the most valuable piece of information I took away from this is that it is physically infeasible for giant cockroaches to exist in our current environment. Now my mind is once again at ease.

Oh, here is the mock interview with James Bach kzread.info/dash/bejne/oa2WmtJ9eNuYh9o.html

"They dont love you, like i love you" xDDD lol

Great lecture! :D Can anyone tell me the communities I can join to build an international testing reputation? Im trying to determine what kind of blog articles are published by testers with a reputation. What information do they publish? Hope that anyone can help me out.

Answer to question at 49:00 1. Check your hands and see the ground to make sure the calculator is really dropped on the ground and no longer in your hands. 2. I would first do 2+2 to check if it is working. 3. The rest would be just the functionality-limit testing.
