Another year another conference. Stanz 2007 was as always interesting and a boon to the testing scene in Wellington. My main focus was Goranka Bjedovs workshop on performance testing with JMeter which was excellent. I’m really amazed at how Google does their performance testing and who would have thought they’d have so much success with an open source tool (JMeter). Other highlights were Wolfgang Strigel’s talk on defect management and practices.
Stanz is especially useful for those getting into testing and those who want to mingle in the scene. For a small market it is amazing that Wellington has such a large and successful test conference. My wish would be more in depth tracks for the “old” pro’s in the field. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for next year.
