Lightning talks and Selenium
Submitted by Erik Petersen on Sat, 15/03/2008 - 13:29. events | web testing toolsMy first demo of Selenium was at a lightning talk at STARwest in 2005.

Watch this next?: the $1 million data mining quality challenge
Submitted by Erik Petersen on Sun, 16/03/2008 - 04:30. events | people issues | perspectives | reliability testingQuality is often measured in terms of accuracy (or Accurateness, according to this definition ) . For a shopping site, the closer you can predict what a customer likes, the more you can sell and the more inclined your customer will be to buy more and to stay loyal to you as a supplier. As any gambler knows, prediction is not a science but historical results can provide a best guess. Can you put a price on this? Who knows. One company has offered a prize to make it better though, one million dollars.
