I got behind on my emails and just now saw this as well as Mittie's announcement
of the article. Marc and Benjamin, congrats on your iX article! I can't figure
out how to get to it on that site, is it in print only or am I just missing
something obvious?

Better Software is a magazine aimed at software testers and developers, with an
agile slant; it's the print companion to the www.stickyminds.com website. My
article is for a regular feature they have called "Tool Look" where test tools
are reviewed. It's intended for people who have not tried it who may be looking
for a test framework or tool. I talk about its history, developer community,
give an overview of how it works and some of its powerful features, talk about
our experiences with it, and recommend who should take a look at it.

The Sticky Notes on www.stickyminds.com have the parts of my email interview
with Benjamin, Mittie and Marc that got cut out of the article due to size
constraints! But these are publicly available so that's nice.

After the article has been out awhile (so I don't annoy the publishers) I'll
post a pdf of it. Better Software is a good magazine and supposedly available
for subscription in Europe as well (or online anywhere). I recommend it for
testers and programmers, especially those doing agile practices.

Thanks again to Mittie, Marc and Benjamin for helping me so much with this
article. I need to come to Switzerland and Germany and buy everyone a beer, at
least. Thanks again to the whole community for a great, well-supported tool!

I'll be in Copenhagen in two weeks for EuroStar, I'm giving a testing tutorial
there (in which I will also talk some about WebTest). So if anyone on this list
is going to be there, please let me know! Thanks, Lisa

Hi,

I'm happy to announce 2 articles about Webtest (both available only in printed editions):

In Better Software Magazine (November-December 2005, Issue 7-9)

Lisa Crispin has written "A look at Canoo WebTest". Perhaps may Lisa tell a bit more about it?

http://www.stickyminds.com/bettersoftware/magazine.asp?fn=citoc&mid=70

In iX Magazine (12/2005) (in German)

Together with Benjamin Feiermann I have written "Webanwendungen automatisch testen mit Webtest". It's a 4 pages introduction to webtest for "beginners" (no advanced topics or "insider tips" and therefore probably not interesting for experienced webtest users).

Mittie: what are the current visit statistics? It would be interesting to see how many new visitors are coming due to these 2 articles.

Marc.
