ACT 2 LEAD in Goodreads!

Exciting news! Our book has finally made its debut on Goodreads! Though the process took a bit longer than anticipated, what matters most is that you can now rate our book with stars and share your comments. Better yet, we can engage in discussions right there on the platform!

While we've already received plenty of feedback, primarily through LinkedIn and word of mouth, it's been overwhelmingly positive. Readers appreciate the thoughts, examples, and learnings we've shared, particularly the real-life examples. These cases serve to solidify and enrich the lessons, making them more tangible and memorable.

However, one issue with the feedback we've received thus far is its fleeting nature. Though certainly not forgotten by us, it tends to slip from readers' minds over time. It's akin to a one-time event, often buried amidst the noise of social media feeds. With Goodreads, though, we aim to remedy this. By centralizing feedback on the platform, we ensure that it's readily accessible to both current and future readers, fostering a continuous dialogue around the book.

Goodreads isn't just a handy tool for us; it's an invaluable resource for readers, too. With an ever-expanding list of books to explore, having visibility into fellow readers' feedback helps narrow down the choices and focus our attention on what truly matters.

But here's the catch: Goodreads thrives on your feedback! So, we encourage you to take a moment to visit our book's page and share your thoughts. Your voice matters, and by contributing your feedback, you're helping us and guiding potential readers in their decision-making process.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. We look forward to hearing from you on Goodreads!

There was an observation. Or quite many, actually. Too often, we found out that all the people didn’t really understand software testing, even when they should. We were especially concerned about those who made decisions around testing, as department managers, program/project managers, product owners, service managers and also, a bit surprisingly, even some test managers and testers. We thought it was mostly to do with a lack of knowledge. They did not have to know how to test in practice, but they should have understood what testing is and what it means - from a holistic view. So we started to write a book ACT 2 LEAD, for all those people. We decided that the book would not teach how to test, but it should teach how to lead and manage testing. Sharing our own views on testing - how we understand it. Increasing the reader’s understanding and giving practical tips to survive better in their daily work. This is the first blog post on our website dedicated to spreading knowledge people ne

Press Release - Lehdistötiedote ACT 2 LEAD julkaistu

24.10.2023 ACT 2 LEAD-kirja ohjelmistotestauksen johtamisesta on julkaistu! Reilun kahden vuoden uurastus on ohi ja “ACT2LEAD - Ohjelmistotestauksen johtamisen käsikirja” näkee päivänvalonsa 23.10.2023! Kirjailijat Marko Rytkönen ja Kari Kakkonen ovat luoneet tämän kirjan yhteistyössä kustantaja Ketterät Kirjat Oy:n kanssa. Suomalaiset organisaatiot huomioivat ohjelmistotestausta liian usein aivan liian vähän, mikä johtaa huonolaatuisiin tietojärjestelmiin ja tyytymättömiin asiakkaisiin. Tämä kirja opastaa organisaatioiden johtoa helposti ymmärrettävällä tavalla, jotta olisi tietoa tehdä riittäviä päätöksiä ohjelmistotestauksesta. Kirja esittelee erilaisia vaihtoehtoja, lähestymistapoja ja huomioitavia asioita ohjelmistotestauksen johtamiseen. Se sopii kaikille, joiden tulee ymmärtää, mitä moderni testaus on ja mitä huomioida sitä johdettaessa. Toisin sanoen, se sopii mm. CxO-tasolle, johtajille, päälliköille sekä myös tuoteomistajille, projektipäälliköille, ohjelmistokehittäjille ja t

 The book  is now officially launched! The publishing party was kept on 23.10.2023. We had about 20 people celebrating the launch of the book with us. There were our families, friends, reviewers and, of course, testing professionals too. The party was opened by our publisher, Reino Myllymäki from Ketterät Kirjat Oy. He gave a short introduction to our book project from his point of view, and he raised a toast for us. Cheers! Reino also mentioned how it was to make a book with testers. According to him, the most significant difference was how we reported bugs and findings from the book in its editing phase, as we reported those quite detailed... as we would report bugs. At least there was no chance of misunderstandings, as we had about 12 rounds of editing. After the lovely words from Reino, Marko introduced the story of making the book. He shared the observations and conclusions of why we believed, and still believe, that there is a need to change how people THINK about testing. Then h
