Upcoming topic categories:
- Mechanics of testing
- testing concepts and strategies
- Software development methodologies
- Software development skills and best practices

- Promote functional, system, and subcutaneous testing.
- Promote the phrase "automated test" in place of "unit test" in most usages.
- Introduce people to topics around software development and software testing.
- Promote "Lean TDD": the good parts of Agile, Lean, BDD, and TDD.
- Create a podcast series that can be used as a reference.
10-12. Stretch goals. Listen to the audio for these.Also covered:
- how we're gonna deal with code examples since this is audio
- will there be guests or sponsors
- how frequent will the show be
Audience:
- software developers/engineers
- software testers
- team leads
