About me

Instead of telling you about me, I'll tell you about the training I provide. It should tell you what I'm about:
 
Tick-the-Code Inspection
 
Tick-the-Code Inspection is a very efficient and effective technique of reviewing code. A small set of strict rules based on sound coding principles make the practice more effective than common sense checking. So far, the rules apply to C, C++, Java and C#, but they can be adapted to other programming languages.
 
Qualiteers organizes training courses in Tick-the-Code. Every training course contains the first practical experience using real code. This kind of learning-by-doing in a safe environment is the best way to learn well and permanently. The safe environment allows for mistakes to be made and the small group sizes make it possible to correct all mistakes made immediately.
 
Regular Tick-the-Code Inspections make code simpler and more maintainable, teach checkers and the author good coding habits and prevent errors from being made in the first place. As long as your quality assurance depends on only testing you will have to keep correcting errors. Correcting happens necessarily after an error has been inserted. Wouldn't it be cheaper to avoid the error altogether?
 
The technique is the enabler.
 
-If you write software,
-if you have software quality problems,
-if your supplier delivers suboptimal code,
-...
contact me. Ticking the code can help.
 
Tick-the-Code Inspection is a low-tech, back-to-the-basics, brain-intensive, heavy-as-paper approach to checking the quality of code and fighting complexity.
 
Quality needs constant defending.

In addition to training people, I write. Better Software Magazine (www.bettersoftware.com) published my article "Happy Are The Software Engineers..." in Dec-06. My first scientific paper called "Tick-the-Code Inspection: Theory and Practice" was published in June -07 in Software Quality Professional (http://www.asq.org/pub/sqp/past/vol9_issue3/index.html). I presented my second paper called "Tick-the-Code Inspection: Empirical Evidence (on Effectiveness)" in the Pacific Northwest Software Quality Conference, or PNSQC 2007 (www.pnsqc.org).
I am still working on a book on Tick-the-Code Inspection. Should you want to be part of the professional reviewer team, send me your details and a short story about why you would be suitable for the role.
