Yes, I really did meet him - James Marcus Bach. If I have to tell you how I felt like after meeting him in just one sentence - It was like meeting Master Shifu of the Kung Fu Warriors team.
Though I was sure to meet him in the test-ed conference, this meeting of mine was much un-expected.
At the Coffee Shop:
The place was pretty much the same as where I had met my mentor Pradeep Soundararajan for the first time. It was Coffee day then & Costa Coffee today.
I was able to identify him from few meters right before actually heading to his table. Not because he is from west & has a fair complexion but from his hat having the brand image of Buccanner Scholar.
I got a chance to meet him with a small contingent of Moolya team ie with Dhanasekar S, Abilash & Dnyanesh.
Testing Activity:
Well the fun started right after 2 minutes of introduction. Even before we realized we were quickly grabbed in to a testing activity. The activity was so intense that I just couldn't pick up with the pace at first.
James quickly had identified was giving feedback on each one of us constantly during the session.
We got tips on questioning, observing, analysis & what more, even on consulting.
We did fairly well at the end for which James did appreciate. Learning quick & getting feedback from James was really a bliss that I got to experience.
Excited for the next meet:
The next meet with James is really going to be an exciting one. This meet will just not be with the team of Moolya but with more than hundreds of testers in the city of Bangalore & others.
That will be in the test-ed '12 conference. And yes you all are invited to this massive testing event that will be held on December 5th. Well, if you haven't registered yet, you still can.
Here are the details: http://test-ed.in/
Here is what you get:
1. You get with many rockstars of the testing industry.
2. If you are newbie in testing, you will get a chance to enhance your skills & learn about software testing from some of the people who have interacted with a millions of testers around the world.
3. You get to meet most energetic mentors who could guide you to be the 'PO' of the software testing field.
4. Hundreds of fellow testers with whom you could network.
Hope to see you all there!
