Lanette Creamer on Exploratory Testing and Technical Testers

Full transcript and show notes at theomnishow.omnigroup.com Lanette Creamer — tester, speaker, cat enjoyer — joins the show to talk about testing OmniGraffle. Her previous experience includes testing Adobe InDesign, where she first met Liz Marley, then a tester at The Omni Group, when Liz presented an elaborate prototype iPad made from a cardboard box. Lanette gives talks and workshops at various conferences, and you may well have seen her speaking already. If not, you still have a couple chances later this year. One of her upcoming talks uses the metaphor of applying makeup: how much time do you have, and what can you do given that amount of time? What should you prioritize? You can find Lanette on the web on her Linkedin profile. You can also find her cat Navani on the web. And here too. Some other people, places, and things mentioned:  OmniGraffle OmniFocus Bellevue, Washington Sumner High Bellingham Pagemaker Adobe InDesign Chris Parrish Liz Marley Kristina Sontag Renton, Washington Game of Thrones MTV Billy Idol Billy Joel Agile Conference Tesla Model S The Final Countdown Bon Jovi New Seattle Tunnel Navani, the kitten Navani, the character from The Stormlight Archive
