  • One of The Three

    A & B testing podcast is one of my favorite podcasts ( even across all genres, not just “testing”!) Love the wit and straightforwardness from Alan and Brent, on just about any topics!

    When I first started listening to this podcast two years ago as an entry level SDET, it really opened my eyes to how “testing” can be done and should be done. In my organization no one had talked about or done things this way, yet Alan and Brent’s stance on testing made so much sense and was strikingly enlighteni... more

  • The best podcast about software quality

    Alan and Brent keep our of the whole fight between iSTQB and CDT, and just use common sense, their experience from different Microsoft (and later Unity) projects and develop a set of principles that help guide people through modern software development problems.

    A must-listen for people caring about software quality.

  • one of the three binge-listener

    Wonderful podcast. It's so enjoyable. And a good source of information to think about too. I wonder if I can mention it as a source of information on my hopefully soon-to-be-job-interviews))

    Thank you, Alan and Brent! Please don't stop

  • Really good stuff

    Really love your Podcast guys. Your interactions are hilarious. And I also love the honesty regarding all topics. It's cool to listen to honest professionals. The only thing that I would ask for is more actionable tips and real life examples to drive home the points. The theory is great, but I would love to know how to apply it, measure it, and do it correctly. Keep up the awesome work!
