 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 testin...

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...

ACT 2 LEAD ride

Huh, what a ride it has been after the launch of our book! Sales are doing well, and in addition to that, we have had five events related to our book during November (see https://www.act2lead.net/p/news-and-presentations.html ): Knowit Agile Agent podcast ACT 2 LEAD talk in one insurance company's internal QA community FiSTB Testing Assembly, to sign and discuss around the book Leading of software testing -talk for South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences – Xamk ACT 2 LEAD talks in Tieturi webinar: Story of the book + What is ACT 2 LEAD It is hard work to talk, as talk is about talking and thinking (what to say, how to say it, etc). It helps when the topic is so close to our hearts: software testing and how to lead it. Even though the topic and slides are the same, the talks and words are never the same. There are always some differences, which we spot as we discuss. And that is how it should be. Actually, it was the way the book was created, too. Also, talking to stude...
