Consulting relationships with our clients are considered Lateral Relationships. A lateral relationship in management is a link between people working with the same organization without a direct level of authority over each other.

The power balance in lateral relationships is always open to ambiguity – and to negotiation!

So What is Flawless Consulting?

When a consultant gets resistance from a client, sometimes we aren’t sure whether to push the client harder or to let the issue go.

• Flawless Consulting is about addressing and managing this kind of ambiguity.
• Flawless Consulting is about methods and techniques, but the consistent message is that each act that expresses trust in ourselves and belief in the validity of our own experience is always the right path to follow.
• And    Flawless Consulting Teaches us that Each act that is manipulative or filled with pretense is always self-destructive.

Live Webinar – June 24th, 2014 1:00 – 2:00 PM EDT
Duration: 1 Hours + QA – 1 Category C Self Directed Learning PDUs
Presented by: SD Times (Software Development Times)

For years, testing has been considered a second-class citizen when it comes to the pecking order of importance in any software development endeavor.

The words, “I am a tester,” might typically get a response along the lines of sympathy card from Hallmark – “Oh, sorry to hear that. Keep plugging away, you’ll make that leap up the hierarchy at some point.”

With today’s complexity found in all areas of software, not just e-commerce, but cloud, and just about anywhere that has software acting in some way as the front end to some activity initiated by a user, testing has become a complex role that encompasses more than just an assembly-line mentality of checking the box and moving onto the next item.

Today’s testing is not your father’s Oldsmobile.

There is an “e” in testing. But it’s not the one that you are thinking of, nope. Today’s “e” is found in multiple areas that today’s testing encompasses. Today’s “e” is Performance Engineering. Today’s “e” is User Experience. Today’s “e” is Data Science.

Join SOASTA senior product evangelist Dan Boutin (LinkedIn profile, @DanBoutinSOASTA) and SD Times editor-in-chief David Rubinstein (LinkedIn profile) as they discuss how testing has changed and must continue to change to meet the needs of today’s software development landscape of agile processes and continuous deployment.
