A testament to Elisabeth's "Bug Magnet-ness" (Bug Magnetificence?)... We found a bug in production in our online application by doing little more than exploring the highly actionable testing ideas she documented in her Test Heuristics Cheat sheet / Coffee Mug. She didn't even need to be in the room to lead us to bugs. Her carefully-chosen, results-oriented, bug-finding guidance (which fit onto my coffee mug) did the trick. See - http://testobsessed.com/2007/02/19/test-heuristics-cheat-sheet/

Elisabeth co-presented with me at Stanford SPLASH in April 2011. The classes were considerably more productive (and fun) as a direct result of her involvement.

Whenever Elisabeth calls me and asks "do you want to ..." I say yes before she finishes the sentence. So far I haven't regretted that. Working with Elisabeth has profoundly changed the way I teach.

I've presented with Elisabeth at ADP/East 2010. It was a blast!

Hope you get to Potsdam in November!

I was able to pair with Elisabeth at AU4H on some fun artwork for the online game, Hairballistics.

Paired together on a Haskell project. Having lots of fun and learning much.

Paired on entaggle tests

Two days of working together to add taggability filters to tag search feature. Tests, then code, then rework, finally accepted to staging, and finally pushed to prod. Learned a lot about JavaScript testing.

Pairtested with Elisabeth in front of a conference audience a software I co-created.

Elisabeth is an amazing partner to pair with. Besides being smart, she's also patient! I have learned a LOT by pairing with her.

She's a tester that codes and a coder that tests, something everyone should aspire to meld.

can't believe I spaced this one

Elisabeth presented at my company and inspired several of my co-works to try agile techniques for delivering more business value with having more fun.

This is a pretty sweet concept. I think it has the potential to really catch on. Thanks for sharing it with me! :)

Elisabeth exemplifies the best Agile agile practices. Her talk+demo in Sonoma at the joint meetup of North Bay Agile and North bay Ruby groups was nothing short of fearless.

I highly recommend a visit to the Agilistry for anyone interested in Agile!

I organized it.

I'm the organizer again this year.

The site looks good - I like the changes since I last visited!

One of many things that are awesome about you :)

Elisabeth loves connecting good people together.

Finds time to help those who want to become better testers and coders.

I have met her in context of my work and taken a class with her - Elisabeth rocks!

Gotta be about the most generous person I've ever met.

Because it's true :-)

The Sonoma talk+demo at North Bay Agile+Ruby meetup was legendary. Really nice job.

Every time I watch Elisabeth present at a conference I get a ton of blog post ideas - something just clicks and I see my past experience in a completely different light.

I offer free email-based support to all my students as well as people who work for my clients. I also answer questions people email me on articles I've written and talks I've given. I do this in part because I stand behind my work, but also selfishly because I am grateful for the opportunity to stay in touch with and meet so many interesting people this way.

2010

Truly, you'll be impressed.

but of course. WAT1

This site says it all

It was my pleasure to meet Elisabeth at AU4H. She is truly a delight and inspiration.

Elisabeth's ATDD course was a revelation for me. She generously donated her break-time between speaking engagements to help me with pairing and Cucumber and I hope someday to have the opportunity to do the same for somebody in the future.

Kinda like the one I added, bur some redundancy is good :)

And that was *before* she launched Entaggle

When people ask me about you, I often answer "I wanna be like her when I grow up". You help me keep sharp.

Some people don't believe I'm an I. Really, I am!

Elisabeth creates not just learning games, but world-renowned learning games, such as the WordCount simulation (about becoming Agile), Swamp (about making decisions, teamwork, and team coordination), and Shortcut (about risk, and accumulating and paying off technical debt).

Have always learned lots from Elisabeth, technical and otherwise, but it seems like she's always being an example for or giving me advice about something new.

Mostly. Not completely. Definite fondness for tea. Unsure of immunity to Vogon poetry: have not had the opportunity to test it.

... but then, who said the rest of the world has it right anyway?

Elisabeth has been a great business/consulting mentor for me. She's helped me find focus and drive for my practice.

Pairing with Elisabeth on Entaggle was nothing like work, but features got developed and delivered.

Loved your Phrase Foundry game. Looking forward to more of these.

One of the first recorded lightning talks I saw was Elisabeth, advocating a testing-tools working group if I recall. Quintessentially her. Great to watch.

You fight for quality!

Sometimes funny, always clever and thought provoking.

Fantastic idea, Elisabeth! Hope Entaggle takes off. Can I tag people who are not members....would be a great way to introduce them to the site.

Any time I can!!

We worked together at Stac Electronics in Pasadena in the late 80s. So it's got to happen soon, right?

Met you at AWTA, Developer-Tester Day at Googleplex, and Agile Alliance Functional Testing Tools in Orlando before Agile 2010. Interesting tool.

OK, I'm getting all Entaggled!!

Not only do I know her, but I work for her!

I have seen Elisabeth present and facilitate. The room is energized with her presence.

irish pub, agile 2010

Who'd have thought those years in the theater (at a research university no less) would lead you to all this. Glad to know you're still in your element after all this time.

Gosh - I'm normally indifferent to social networky stuff, but entaggle could be addictive!

Love that green wristband. Thank you.

Two years of AAFTT meetings and Agile 2010. And she signed my testing mug.

I have met Elisabeth at the Agile Testing Days. Participated in her tutorial "Agile Transitions" and the Open Space session on Alternatives to certification.

Thanks for creating that site. With the discussion in Berlin during the Agile Testing Days in mind, i know what you are aiming at and am seriously excited :) Andreas

I met Elisabeth for the first time at LEWT03 have we've met several times since, both in California and London.

Planning to meet you at CAST 2012!

I've enjoyed your tweets and posts; hopefully sometime in the near future we can discuss our Agile thoughts over coffee or cocktails... Perhaps at Agile Coach Camp?

I completely forgot about this place and only just NOW saw your tag. I also would love to meet you. I believe I was close to your area when we started our travels in Jan. but not close enough. Now that we're travelling, I'd love to meet up sometime soon! thanks on the blog comment :)) (and no, we haven't ever met)

On my wishlist: Meet you in 2011.

I've paired with her before, and I would pair with her again! :)

PSL September 1998, Change Shop January 1999, Change Shop Apprentice 2002, various writing workshops, experiential training workshops, and AYE.

Elisabeth knows her testing skills (*obviously!* ;) and excels at TDD techniques.

I watched a superlative example of the freedom granted to someone who habitually tests first, and tests well. The result was truly awesome.

Have read some work while in the BBST Foundations course and afterward. Extremely good information to be found.

Gud blogger

Don't miss http://testobsessed.com/ infrequent but very much worth the time.

...not sure what the motivation is to fill in this particular box. Just sayin', thought leadership is self explanatory. That's my 2 cents. :)

Elizabeth has worked with my teams several times and her work has been very much appreciated by my teams and myself.
