I’ve now technoratified. According to websearch.com.au I have invented a new word. Unfortunately, Microsoft finds it 7 times, Ask 15, Google 27 times, and Yahoo 35 times. Webcrawler uses all of those search engines together and finds it 18 times; Dogpile also uses those same search engines and finds it 15 times. Curious. If you click on the links, you can try it yourself, but the results have changed thanks to this post. Anyway, after a conversation with some developers a few months ago about it, and reading about Cem Kaner and Michael Bolton make the move last November, I am also now on Technorati .

For the past fifteen or more years, a significant amount of the onsite training we've done for clients has been oriented towards teaching business users to become acceptance testers. Typically, clients ask for a 1-2 day introduction to the basics and some practice in creating and running tests. In most cases the client wants to introduce their people to some structure and method so they can be joined by some professional testers and led by an experienced test manager. On occasion, we've been asked to lead these teams.
