James Bach, Satisfice ,USA

James Bach (http://www.satisfice.com) is a pioneer in the discipline of exploratory software testing and a founding member of the Context-Driven School of Testing. He is the author (with Kaner and Pettichord) of Lessons Learned in Software Testing: A Context-Driven Approach. Starting as a programmer in 1983, James turned to testing in 1987 at Apple Computer, going on to work at several market-driven software companies and testing companies that follow theSilicon Valleytradition of high innovation and agility. James founded Satisfice, Inc. in 1999, a tester training and consulting company based in Front Royal, Virginia.

High Accountability Exploratory Testing

Exploratory testing is often assumed to be a low accountability process. It
is assumed to be undocumented and non-rigorous. This is completely wrong.
Exploratory testing can be as rigorous and documented as you want it to be.
But it does require some delicacy about how you go about it. Years ago, my
brother Jonathan and I developed a method of managing ET so that it results
in comprehensive documented test results, and is amenable to metrics,
external audits, and traditional project management. The method is called
Session-Based Test Management. In this presentation, I will present the
basics of SBTM.
