		<description><![CDATA[David and I will be trying a three-day version of our course on exploratory testing. In the course we look at some of the heuristics we use, review how we structure and manage our testing, and spend a large balance of time (more than 50%) testing real products. It&#8217;s a hands on course, tailored to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this month&#8217;s issue of Software Test and Performance, Michele Kennedy shares a great experience report on troubleshooting performance issues. It includes some great tips, recommends some free tools, and includes some real examples. It&#8217;s a good read. I wish more performance testing articles were written this way - real examples.

The topic of the all day workshop was ‘SOA Testing.’ We were able to get through five experience reports (with open season questioning) and we looked at some specific examples in iTKO LISA.

		<description><![CDATA[I have a recommendation from an additional application tour from Cem Kaner. 
&#8220;Testers should be touring the market context as well as the product itself. For example, a lot of customer expectations are best discovered from regulations, competitive products, magazine articles or books about this class of product.&#8221;
I like it.
I&#8217;m trying to figure out a [...]]]></description>
