Thought provoking Keynote address from GTAC

Managing the Test People : Judy McKay

I'd blogged previously about the lack of availability of  Test management resources and information. Here's an excellent book by Judy McKay about this subject. 

Judy's style of writing is casual yet very involved in details.  Its an excellent resource new managers and leads  as well as experienced hands.  Much of what's mentioned in this book is applicable for any management position. However there are specifics challenges on managing  testers. Judy has provided practical approaches in dealing with these challenges.

Tools for Exploratory testing: In development...

I'm working on developing a tool for exploratory testing. My idea for GUI design is Minimalism taking into account the bare essentials required while performing an exploratory session. Screen recorder, snapshot tool, rich text editor, copy/paste, annotations.
I've been scouting the web for various open source API and reusable code and still in very initial design and research.
Any ideas welcome!
