Cem Kaner

EXPERIENCE
21 years of computer-related work, first as a graduate student in Experimental Psychology (running the lab and working out ways to improve software usability), then Silicon Valley after I finished my Ph.D. research in 1983, now as a Professor of Software Engineering at the Florida Institute of Technology. I've worked as a:

• Director of Testing and Documentation
• Software Development Manager
• Software Test Manager
• Technical Publications (end user documentation) manager
• Programmer / Tester / Tech Writer
• Human Factors Analyst
• Software Salesperson
• Attorney with an emphasis on the law of software quality.

• Testing Computer Software,
• Lessons Learned in Software Testing, and
• Bad Software: What to Do When Software Fails.

• B.A. Arts & Sciences (primarily Math/Philosophy.
• Ph.D. Experimental Psychology.
• J.D. (Law degree).

Graduate students (M.Sc. and Ph.D. studies) and talented undergrads focused on software testing research, in a Computer Sciences department that offers students a strong foundation in software testing.

Our main current project is on software testing education, see www.testingeducation.org.

Were also very interested in deepening our understanding of (and are currently doing research on) high-volume test automation, scenario testing, failure modes for wireless applications, a risk-based approach to domain testing, and the new generation of open source test tools that operate below the GUI and foster stronger tester/programmer collaboration.

SPECIAL SKILLS
I have a strong background in management consulting (team building, recruiting, interviewing, planning, risk management, the usual stuff), but its unlikely that you would be able to retain me for those types of services at this point.

My primary interests as a professor are to advance the state of practice in software testing by:

• Educating a new generation of leaders of the software testing community who have strong technical backgrounds and a clear understanding of the basic and advanced test techniques and issues in test automation;
• Collaborating in efforts, like eXtreme Programmings, to redefine the role and relationships of the test group to other groups in product development;
• Develop new materials, available to everyone, for use in software testing courses.

To learn what they need to learn, my students need practical experience, including internships and real-life projects.

SERVICES
I'm less available for general consulting now that I am a full-time professor.

I'm interested in working with agile or XP project teams, especially if they have room for one or more of my students. I'm also introduced in teaching courses on black box testing and on software metrics. At Florida Tech, I also teach a course on advanced testing (test-driven development, application of Cunninghams FIT took, etc.) but this isn't yet ready for off-campus commercial presentation.

If you're curious about whether I would be appropriate for your company, get in touch with me by voice or by e-mail. We can have some direct, honest discussions. I don't accept contracts if I don't have confidence that I can provide excellent service.

Exampler Consulting

EXPERIENCE
11 years as programmer, tester, and line manager. Owner of Testing Foundations since 1992.

SPECIAL SKILLS
Test design, developer testing, sensible use of coverage, helping with gradual improvement of skills, custom course development.

SERVICES
I maintain a mix among pure consulting (talking with people about what to do), contracting (sitting down and actually doing something), and training (providing short courses that describe how I approach testing problems). Developer (code-aware) testing has been a specialty in the past, though I also spend a good deal of time on independent product ("black box") testing. In recent years, a considerable amount of my work has been with mass-market software.

SERVICES:

The two models of value-added services we offer are: Outsourcing and On-Site Contracting.

Our Outsourcing Services consist of Project-Based or Function-Based and Compatibility Lab Resource solutions.

• Project-Based or Function-Based Outsourcing Solutions:

Based in our facility, we form a team dedicated exclusively to a specific project. This team functions as an extended resource to client development or SQA teams. Function-based outsourcing is similar to the project-based model; however, instead of being assigned to a specific project the assigned team is responsible for a specific development or testing function over several projects on an ongoing basis.

• Compatibility Lab Resources

We offer our lab services in two ways:

1. We assign a test team, provide equipment resources, and our facility over a specific period of time to allow completion of a specific compatibility test suite.
2. Alternately, we dedicate exclusively a lab manager and our lab facility to be used by client on a time and schedule basis. Our test lab facility becomes a virtual extension to client development or SQA teams.

On-site Contracting Services include our client-managed engineering staff and SQA management consulting.

• On-Site Client-Managed Contracting

We place experienced staff on-site to be managed by client development teams.

• On-Site SQA Management Consulting

We assign a senior consultant on-site to work with client management staff to help build or audit a pre-existing SQA infrastructure. This is typically a shorter-term arrangement to provide specific recommendations to effectively build and manage a successful SQA organization and process.

OTHER SERVICES:

Our training solutions consist of several practical and well-received software-testing courses that we develop and offer publicly through LogiGear as well as reputable universities such as the UC Berkeley Extension. We also offer our courses at the client's site. The success of our program is credited to our unique method of curriculum development. We combine textbook methodology, extensive research and real world testing experience. We continue to build on our success by developing additional courses that enable us to share new technologies and techniques we learn from our day-to-day involvement with software testing and development organizations.

To compliment our services and training programs, we have a dedicated development team to research, design and produce testing support tools and utilities to help improve testing efficiency. Our goal is to make these products useful, easy-to-use and affordable to even the smallest companies.

Questcon Technologies, Inc.

EXPERIENCE
Questcon was founded in 1991 with a continual focus on software quality assurance and testing services.

SPECIAL SKILLS
Questcon Technologies is a Mercury Interactive Quality Channel Partner: offering training and consultation in test automation with Mercury Interactive tools.
Questcon consultants support all types of client-server and internet application testing.

SERVICES
Questcon Technologies provides a full spectrum of software quality assurance and testing services to our clients. At the heart of our business are two principles:

• expert, flexible consultant staffing to meet all your software testing and quality assurance requirements;
• rigorous, proven, software quality assurance and testing solutions, which add value to the development lifecycle and to the end-product.

System Testing
Questcon Technologies employees are unparalleled in their system test efforts and experience. The system test effort continues simultaneously with development efforts. The system test teams analyze the technical specifications and write the necessary test plans, test designs, and test cases. Often the test documents can be reused as regression tests in later efforts.

Intersystem Testing
This type of testing is often referred to as "end-to-end" testing of multiple systems. Intersystem testing validates the interdependencies of software systems and verifies data flow from each entry point to each exit point.

Configuration Management
Questcon Technologies provides configuration management processes by controlling the software environment. Maintaining a "production-like" test environment and delivering the code to production from a test staging area keeps software modules from being sent to end-users untested.

Release Control
Release control allows the team to develop and test software modules in a predefined and methodical approach. It ensures the most critical modules are developed first and all inter-module dependencies are developed simultaneously. Without release control, the modules with the highest risk are usually the last ones developed and/or tested.

Release Tracking
Too often, software releases are developed without regard to the entire system. Our release tracking efforts provide all team members with an understanding of the effort involved as well as the system architecture. Release tracking is imperative to maintaining control of the emerging product.

Software Quality Assessments
Defining and successfully implementing a rigorous software quality assurance process is at the heart of successful product development. Our consultants will analyze your existing processes, identify the successes and failures, and recommend cost-effective solutions to your software quality problems.

Database Administration
More and more frequently, software is developed within the supporting databases (i.e., stored procedures, password administration, views etc.). Questcon Technologies has an experienced staff of trained database administrators that can build, develop, optimize and test all of your database needs.

Project Coordination
Questcon Technologies' expertise in software QA and testing provides a unique and effective approach to project coordination. On many projects, the development window expands only to reduce the test effort. Our project coordination efforts help alleviate this problem by tracking test milestones within the development effort.

IV&V Australia Pty Ltd

EXPERIENCE
IV&V Australia is a software testing and software independent verification & validation (IV&V) consultancy. It was formed in May 1996, with the aim of providing value-added software testing and IV&V services to the Australian Technology/IT and Defence industries.

IV&V Australia's consultants all have significant experience in software testing and IV&V in a wide range of application areas, including e-commerce/webs, telecommunications, client/server, banking, and embedded systems for both commercial and defence customers.

SPECIAL SKILLS
IV&V Australia have developed the IV&V Toolkit, which provides a framework for how we do our consulting. The Toolkit enables us to get started on testing projects very quickly, with a minimum of "lost time" in familiarisation and basic structural issues. We also use the Toolkit as the basis for our test process improvement and test strategy development activities.

The Toolkit consists of:

• A systematic end-to-end software testing methodology (collected into a series of "How We Do Its")
• A scalable documentation method defined in a number of test document templates
• A test process improvement model, which is based on five levels of organisational maturity and 16 key test process areas
• A set of test process checklists and worksheets.

SERVICES
IV&V Australia provide five main services:

• Test Team Services:
  This service primarily involves acting as mentors to our customers' test teams, either as an external mentor, or as part of the team as a test manager/team leader. We can also work a complete test team, or as individual testers on development projects.
• Test Process Improvement Services:
  We have developed a test process improvement model that is centred around increasing levels of organisational maturity and the implementation of key test process area goals for each level. Our recommended strategy (at all maturity levels) is based on an end-to-end testing methodology that facilitates visibility and control of product quality throughout the development lifecycle.
• Software IV&V Services:
  We provide software development management services to project offices and prime contractors, to ensure that projects proceed to final acceptance in a systematic manner. That is, the project milestones are met, deliverables are acceptable, and risks are effectively managed. This includes Software strategy and product evaluations, Strategic reviews, Requirements tracing, Document and process reviews, Acquisition assistance, and Risk management.
• Training Services:
  We provide training courses on software testing. Our signature course, entitled End-to-End Software Testing, presents an intensive, practical guide to requirements-based software testing throughout the development lifecycle.
• Product Testing Services:
  We have an extensive depth of experience in hands-on product testing. This service includes testing applications such as websites and interactive desktop applications, load testing, and independent functional/system testing of systems such as smartcards and related equipment, EFT-POS devices, and biomedical-related systems.

SPECIAL SKILLS
Functionality Testing -- Functionality Testing is performed to verify that a software application performs and functions correctly according to the design specifications. Whether you are in need of basic functionality tests to ensure that primary features functions properly or you are in need of in depth verification of complex operations. For Functionality testing of a software application, our Test Engineers analyze the application and develop a comprehensive test plan that shows all the features and Functional areas of the application that will be tested. The test plans include test cases that show how each feature and functional area will be tested.

Performance Testing -- Our Test Engineers use sophisticated web-testing tools to create scripts that can simulate thousands of "virtual clients" concurrently visiting and interacting with the site under test. These virtual clients perform typical tasks such as browsing, purchasing items, and searching databases contained within the web site being tested. While these virtual clients are performing these tasks, "probing clients" record exact server response times. After the tests are performed, the data collected from the load tests is analyzed and reports and graphs are generated to supply you with information about how the site performed under these tests and where potential problems lie. A comprehensive report of all measurements captured during the test session is generated and given to the client at the completion of testing. Some of the key measurements provided include:

• How many simultaneous users the web site can support
• How many simultaneous transactions the web site can support
• Page load times under various traffic conditions
• Potential problems and bottlenecks

SERVICES

• Test Strategy Formulation
• Test Plan Preparation
• Test Automation using tools such as Rational Test Studio Tools

CRIM Software Test Centre

EXPERIENCE
CRIM is a transfer and liaison centre with fifteen years' experience in leading-edge information technologies and computer application sectors. Established in November 1999, the CRIM Software Test Centre (CRIM STC) has now completed its start-up phase and has begun a period of consolidation and growth that will help it achieve its main goal of clearly defining the strengths and weaknesses of software products on behalf of its customers according to preset criteria. This team of 16 experts has carried out 42 projects this year, a marked increase over the prior period. In early 2001, the Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux asked CRIM STC to perform accreditation tests on software and applications that will communicate over the Réseau de télécommunications socio-sanitaire (RTSS), which links the MSSS's 550 institutions, regional boards and other divisions. CRIM STC is now fully established in Quebec City, so it can provide better service to the capital region. It now disposes of three well-equipped laboratories: one in Montreal, another one in Quebec City and a mobile lab. Because of its expanding customer base and rising revenues, CRIM STC came into the black during the last four months of fiscal 2001-2002.

SPECIAL SKILLS
To better respond to the requirements of customers, 51% of which are small businesses, CRIM STC fine-tuned its services to cover four principle areas: testing, quality consulting, technological assessment and, very recently, security (see box). This year, 70% of CRIM STC's projects pertained to the improvement of software quality. Of this group, 16% involved testing and 54% concerned the software quality process. Quality assurance and process improvement are increasingly in demand. Furthermore, CRIM STC has established a new quality-assurance approach which involves outsourcing the quality-control activities of its customers. An increasing number of companies understand the importance of testing and include such activities in the development of their software products. They understand that a tested product is a reliable one offering increased commercial potential.
