The Intersection of Accessibility and Inclusive Design /slideshow/the-intersection-of-accessibility-and-inclusive-design/89309172 stpcons16-intersectionaccessibilityinclusivedesign-180301235412
Accessibility and Inclusive Design are complementary initiatives. One makes information and services available to as many people as possible with the use of additional technology where needed. Inclusive Design focuses on making information and services available to as many as possible without having to use external technology. By blending these two initiatives, we can develop software that works better for everyone.]]>

The New Testers: Critical Skills and Capabilities to Deliver Quality at Speed /slideshow/the-newtesters-almforum2014/33246847 thenewtestersalmforum2014-140407185554-phpapp02
This isnt your parents generation of computers and interaction, and the speed of change is only going to accelerate going forward. Software development, and software testing, is undergoing a radical change, but while organizations have embraced the idea of changes in development and delivery, why are we still looking at old, so called best practices in software testing as though were still testing the software the previous generation wrote? In this talk, I will discuss a variety of ways that testing is moving ahead and proving to be just as relevant as it ever has, and how we can equip the next generation of software testers. Through initiatives like SummerQAmp, PerScholas, Weekend Testing and other environments aimed at delivering hands on, real world skills to up and coming testers. Emphasis on rapid learning, direct peer communication, and an emphasis on heuristics and their application can give that edge to new testers, and could also help spark creativity and curiosity in established testers, too.]]>
