The third annual Calgary Perspectives on Software Testing Workshop, POST, is being held March 17 - 18. POST is an annual peer workshop for software test practitioners. The workshop is held over a weekend and is focused on a single topic central to the practice of software testing.
The POST Workshop is modeled on the Los Altos Workshop on Software Testing, LAWST. There are now over ten LAWST inspired workshops held internationally including:
- Toronto Workshop on Software Testing, TWST
- Indianapolis Workshop on Software Testing, IWST
- Workshop on Teaching Software Testing, WTST
- Workshop on Performance & Reliability, WOPR
- Workshop on Regulated Software Testing, WREST
- Bangalore Workshop on Software Testing, BWST
- Dutch Exploratory Workshop on Testing, DEWT
- London Exploratory Workshop in Testing, LEWT
- and more...
As POST workshops aim to be highly interactive, the size is limited to a maximum of 20 enthusiastic people to allow for effective contribution and facilitation. Workshop attendance is by invitation only to ensure a high level of participation and professional commitment.
If you are thoughtful and passionate about the practice of software testing, and are interested in sharing your insights and experiences, then the POST Workshop is for you! If you are interested in attending, contact the workshop organizers for more information.

In 1982, W. Edward Deming identified 14 key principles for business effectiveness. Janet will discuss how these principles are alive and well in effective agile projects. Many teams struggle to introduce agile by adhering to specific practices rather than have an understanding of basic quality principles that agile methodologies support. Janet will compare and contrast Deming’s principles with agile principles and practices.
