All I hear about all the time is how valuable testers are. At the Better Software Conference, everyone was thinking and talking about Testing. Whether it was Automated Unit Testing or Customer Acceptance Testing, everyone was thinking about Testing. Well, I completely disagree.

Testing is useless and there's nothing of value gained from it.

First of all, you've all hired the best and brightest developers there are in your field. Most companies talk about hiring the "Top 1%" but you really did it. Their code always turns out flawless the first time around, congrats.

For those of you not keeping up with my current events and noticing the silence on this blog, I am out of the office this week attending and preparing to speak at the Better Software Conference.

So far it has been an excellent experience and I've managed to meet and talk with some great people ranging from Jean Tabaka from RallyDev, Alistair Cockburn, and Robert Galen. I will be writing up day by day coverage starting this evening.
