At the recent STPCON in Boston, MA I had a chance to catch up with Kirk Walton of tapQA - a fantastic bunch of test consulting gurus from my home state of Minnesota here in the Mid-west of the USA. We chatted about hot trends in customer demands of testing, the future of our practices and approaches and we both agreed that broomball is not actually a sport.
