Early Testing
Early testing is amazing. I am not talking about TDD and developers testing their own creation. I am talking about testing performed by professional QAs with mindset to hack the heck of your system (code, server, deployment, you name it). The value of early testing vs. late testing in SDLC is very easy to show to those that deal with with software on a daily basis and live it everyday. But how do you translate it to the business? Visualize it. One is high level – show one approach vs another and start asking questions.

Book Review: Learning NServiceBus
We are ramping up on our development of a new version of existing system that
will utilize NServiceBus for communication between its various parts. Learning NServiceBus is a great resource to get going, especially if you need in short time to go from 0 to 100. The books falls a little short on testing IMO, but it gives you enough to move in the right direction. In case you are planning to deviate from a standard transport (MSMQ), you won’t find a lot of help in this book. Though frankly, outstanding NServiceBus team and amazing community behind it will answer any of your questions, if those were not already answered. Since NServiceBus is now under Particular, this is the new user group you want to send your questions to.
