Thanks for visiting my site! My name is Randy Rice and my goal in developing this site is to equip you to do your job better as a software tester or Quality Assurance (QA) professional.You will find articles, conference presentations, tutorials, book reviews, a glossary and other resources to help you in your journey in software testing.



Perhaps like you, I have been in the trenches of software testing and QA. I've spent the last 30+ years of my life designing, building and testing information systems. I have experienced the joys of success, but have also learned the bitter lessons of failure. In fact, many of my articles, courses, and conference sessions were born out of past lessons learned. I have included many of those lessons in the book "Surviving the Top Ten Challenges of Software Testing."

 

In these tough economic times, we can help you get the most value from your IT budget and do more with less. Contact me today to see how you can profit from my services.
