beauty school testing
I had fun today sending out the results of my fancy-pants feature that I created yesterday. I also got to walk around builkding 50 where I know a couple folks. I definitely will be gone for the weekend, but looking forward to Monday just the same. Call me crazy, I just keep coming back for more.
Today I got my hair done. I go to the beauty school because, as you know, I'm cheap. I also go to the beauty school because there is a high level of knowledge there (instructors) that scales to infom the particular student I'm working with. The student always takes a while to understand what I want, because there is a second tier of people there to review their choices. Because of this review step, the beauty school has fewer screwups than the full price places.
This methodology can apply to many things: a test team, pair programming, ui design, almost anything that requires precision.
