This week I gave a lightning talk about Five Misleading Software Testing Concepts at the STC Meetup in Cambridge. They were:

1. Automated Testing
2. Quality Assurance
3. Best Practices
4. Bug Counts
5. Code Complete

My cue cards can be found here.

[Edit: 29/03/12] I also gave this talk at the STC Meetup in Birmingham last night. Here’s a blogged response already.

[Edit: 03/04/13] Once again (and for the final time I think) I gave this talk exactly a year later at the inaugural Sheffield Test Gathering on 28th March.

Permit me some self-promotion here:
