Finally took the ISEB Intermediate exam in software testing and though it was multiple choice I don’t get the result for 4 weeks, which is a bit annoying.

I’m glad to see the back of the darn thing. Dunno if I can go through that torture again if I fail. The course and exam are the theory of what I have been doing in practice for way too long so it was a shock trying to learn the theory of what I do with my eyes closed. I’ve been studying for this exam for weeks and had seen and taken many example exam questions which I got right sometimes and wrong at other times. The good thing about being able to try the example exam questions is you get them marked on-line and shown the correct answer when wrong. The bad thing was that many times I just didn’t agree with the correct answer. This was quite often where my suggested answer and the correct answer were quite often so similar as far as I was concerned that both could be right and it was a guessing game. Other times I just did not agree with the correct answer and the remaining times I was just wrong.

Next up is the ISEB Practitioners exam in Software Test Management. I’ve got a lot of reading to do on that and often I write up what I’m trying to learn so I’ll do that via some blog posts here (Sounds boring. Ed) and give them their own category. In a weeks time I should have the whole syllabus as a lot of small blog entries posted here.

Had another look at this blogs viewing stats and I’ve still got a whole load of hits from people looking for images of Palm Island in Dubai. I removed that picture last week and hoped that when Google sent along one of their iddy-biddy spiders for a trawl it would remove me from the results of a search for Palm Island. Hasn’t happened yet. Downloaded the beta version of Office 2010 and installed that on the non-activated Windows 7 laptop. I had an activation key for Office so that works though somethings gonna give with the non-activated Windows 7.
