    Note Taking In Software Tests

    Online  Webinar – Recorded
    Duration: 45 Minutes Credits: .75 PDU Category C – Free PDU
    Presented by: TestHuddle.com

    Last year Shmuel Gershon recorded a very nice webinar about taking notes while testing. It’s about 45 minutes long, so I recommend you taking some paper & pencil before watching it.

    When you go to a conference, a talk, or watch a webminar, somebody is going to tell you something, be it an idea, a story, a set of instructions, whatever, and you better take notes.

    Taking notes will help you understand and remember better. At the moment you are listening to the talk, everything might make sense in your head, but this is just because somebody else is driving you thoughts.

    Would love to try something that came out in one talk?

    Here is where some notes will help you more than anything else.

    Shmuel Gershon (LinkedIn profile, @sgershon) is an experimented tester who specialized himself in exploratory testing and in note-taking.

     

    In this webinar, Shmuel Gershon will explore what types of notes can be important for testers, and learn practical hints on how to take these notes.

    These hints are based on experience and observations, and also on the way professionals from different domains like journalism or education take their own notes.

    You can find more stuff from Shmuel at his site.
