Lisi Hocke (Elisabeth) kindly came to speak at SwanseaCon in September this year, her fabulous talk was focused on sharing her stories about her Testing Tour. She blogs at lisihocke.com.
I was really struck by such a brilliant idea, in recent times I have moved to adopt a ‘learning mindset’ and only wish I had made this leap years ago. Lisi hopes her adventures will inspire you to make your own.
Lisi, thank you for taking the time to speak with me, I really enjoyed your talk in the summer, it is such a great idea. Perhaps I can ask a few questions about your Testing Tour to share with the testing community.
Doing testing together makes it much easier and in many cases took less time, if you are working on your own you can get stuck, this didn’t tend to happen in this situation because the other person would normally come up with an idea to move forward.
It was great fun!
It was a pleasure speaking with Lisi, she is a generous spirit who wants to encourage people to grow and as she says ‘pay it forward’, she is very grateful for the support she has received from people in the testing community.
We were contacted on Thursday by a software house needing a contractor to start working the following Monday on an urgent utilities project which had slipped scope leaving a very unhappy client.
The requirement was to scale the delivery team of professional testers quickly (16 people). There were a number of projects with a key client that needed resource. The brief was to recruit both technical tools based testers and manual QA people on a permanent basis. The company wanted to recruit on a permanent basis. We needed to find people who were client facing and happy to work on different client sites, ostensibly to work away from home during the week.
Within 3 months we had all the people they needed and fulfilled the requirement. After just 2 weeks trust and confidence was at a level where the client asked us ‘just to book interviews in’ they felt they didn’t need to see the CV’s before agreeing to meet the candidates.
A great result with a very happy client.
