Even if all the talks aren’t this good, I will be making every effort to attend the next Mercury World in Australia.

It looks like I will be presenting at (rather than just attending) Mercury World Australia 2006.

James Bach, Cem Kaner and the other context-driven-testing guys have much to say on this. Every test is a little experiment...

So, finding a solution for poor performance is quite similar to conducting a scientific experiment.
