The tired travelling man (with no business-cards to share at the event)

The last day came and went at the Nordic Testing Days 2012 -conference and feeling a bit sentimental. I feel like I left a whole bunch of new friends behind the pond: Raivo Pts, Kaspar Loog and Kristjan Karmo to name a few. The last day as a milestone for me also as I held my first conference talk which was a workshop about Heuristic testing using Mind maps. I have video and slides about the workshop, and also some pictures when I get my hands on them. Main thing was that I had a blast and I got the impression that at least some people got something out of the workshop too.

So today didn't go as planned but I feel I made the right choices overall. I saw Mr. Rex Black talk about Quality management (which I will be doing a minor post later), I held my exhausting workshop (which I will analyse with more depth and because I like to talk about myself ;) ) and a long hands-on exploratory testing workshop by Mart Toom (a great guy with a knack for ET - I'll write a good analysis fattened with constructive feedback). I was planning to take the shorter workshop and attend the tracks, but I felt that I would get/share (theexperience) more if I was able to participate in the workshop.

I have all my notes in mind maps. I will try to get them online as soon as possible for all the tracks. Some are less extensive than the others but I will write posts of the most interesting ones (not to say the others were not interesting but I may not have enough to share about those.

So, tomorrow I will be heading to Technical University of Tampere to join the Testauspivt ("Testing days") and to have a lightning talk about mind maps and exploratory testing. Let's see how that event turns out... ;) Hopefully even more friends and peers to talk about testing with! :D
