ARTICLE: Don’t Forget the Losses
Author(s): Lee Copeland

Using an example about adopting software inspections, Lee Copeland urges organizations to acknowledge the losses people experience when they leave the familiar behind.

ARTICLE: On the Road
Author(s): Lee Copeland
Summary: One of the demands of a software testing consultant is frequent travel. This article describes one consultant's experience having classes canceled and looking for a way home immediately after the attacks of 11 September. With the keen eye of one whose profession involves looking for quirks, Lee Copeland gives us his tester's-eye-view of the sometimes quirky American "family" regrouping and finding its way home amid the post-attack disarray.

COLUMN: All I Ever Need to Know about Testing I Learned in Kindergarten
Author(s): Lee Copeland
Summary: Recently, Lee Copeland participated in the EuroSTAR testing conference. In addition to presenting a tutorial and a keynote address, Lee was asked to give the after dinner speech at the closing gala reception overlooking Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen. He chose to model his comments after Robert Fulghum's book "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten." But in his speech, which we've reprinted as the column of the week, Lee changes the rules of childhood into guidelines for living life as a tester.

COLUMN: So You Have a New Job Assignment
Author(s): Lee Copeland
Summary: Every change involves endings, and endings mean loss. Even the best changes mean some things will end; things that are like warm, fuzzy blankets will be taken from us. But as one thing ends, a new one begins. In this week's column, Lee Copeland assures us that new beginnings involve new understandings, new values, new attitudes, and, most importantly, a new identity for you.
