ISTQB Advanced Testing courses:
In 2012 we'll be running ISTQB Advanced Test Manager, Advanced Test Analyst and Advanced Technical Test Analyst training courses; the latter two will be split into a two day core module
and a three day specialised module, so you don't have to do the same core material twice if you do both courses (which also makes it cheaper!)
Writing Technical Documents:
If you are responsible for writing technical documents you are the difference between a team who know what they are doing and why, and total chaos. This one day course will teach you to write in the most clear and unambiguous way possible by providing examples of technical writing, tips, guidelines and an editing checklist.
Book now
Business Process Modelling:
Business Process Modelling is the activity of analysing and presenting an end to end business process. This course will teach you how to elicit, analyse, document and validate business processes and use that knowledge to identify opportunities and improve the way work is done.

10 Things About Testing That Should Die
Scott Barber has caused a bit of a stir recently for discussing the 'is test dead' concept. But don't worry, Scott, one of the world's leading software systems performance testers, is not claiming test is dead, although he does think some beliefs and practices of testing should die. These include egocentricity, isolation and misguided metrics and can give us all something to think about.

Here at SoftEd we're pretty sure the 'test is dead' debate will continue for some time and if you want a thought provoking and insightful view on the subject please watch Goranka Bjedov's 2011 STANZ presentation on the subject.
