I went up to London this week to attend my first British Computer Society (BCS) event. The Specialist Group in software Testing (SIGIST) hold quarterly conferences open to testers around the UK. Over 250 testers turned up for a day of presentations and workshops. I opted for all the presentations as the theme was Agile testing (my hot topic of the moment), but I hear the workshops were good too. I’d like to attend more of these and hopefully get the opportunity to present.

I picked up a few useful links:

• The QAGuild (Quality Excellence) has some good tooling information

• A collection of Testing blogs called TestingReflections. Well worth a read.

• Another collection of useful Test information and blogs - The UK Tester Forum
