Twist #46 - with Steve Alexander





It's been a bounty of interviews the past couple of months, so much so that I'm starting to lose count how many are in the pipeline. I've set up a little section in Google Docs so that those of us who actively work with these files can keep track of the schedule and what's coming up, where and when. Seriously, it's a nice problem to have :).

This week’s interview comes to us courtesy of New Zealand and my fellow producer Farid Vaswani. Farid goes to great length to line up and talk to people "down under" that would be good potential candidates for interviews, and this week is no exception. Steve Alexander with Purple Shirt is our guest, and he discusses his specialty area, with is Usability and User Experience. More to the point, it's the intersection between what the user wants and what the organization needs, and trying to strike a balance between providing a product in a timely manner that's effective and providing a quality product that users want to use. If you’d like to hear the interview, then please listen to Episode #46.

Standard disclaimer:


Each TWiST podcast is free for 30 days, but you have to be a basic member to access it. After 30 days, you have to have a Pro Membership to access it, so either head on over quickly (depending on when you see this) or consider upgrading to a Pro membership so that you can get to the podcasts and the entire library whenever you want to :). In addition, Pro membership allows you to access and download to the entire archive of Software Test and Quality Assurance Magazine, and its issues under its former name, Software Test and Performance.


TWiST-Plus is all extra material, and as such is not hosted behind STP’s site model. There is no limitation to accessing TWiST-Plus material, just click the link to download and listen.


Again, my thanks to STP for hosting the podcasts and storing the archive. We hope you enjoy listening to them as much as we enjoy making them :).
