James Bach

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

James Bach is a central figure in the field of software testing as an innovator and instructor. He is the author of one of the best selling software testing books of all time, Lessons Learned in Software Testing.

James Bach is an ardent opponent of standards such as CMM and an advocate of the context-driven, also "good enough," approach to software practice. Through his work in exploratory and heuristic processes, James aims to help individuals involved with software answer the questions "What am I doing here?" and "What should I do now?" James began his career in Silicon Valley, focusing on market-driven software development. He has worked at Apple Computer, Borland, and several consulting companies. In his own words “I specialize in thinking about, teaching, and performing testing as a sophisticated thinking art.”
