Who am I

    

Online Communities
Me and Israel
I am Shmuel Gershon, a Testing Engineer at Intel Corporation working at the Intel vPro team (testing manageability features called Intel AMT). I am also a father of 5, a husband of 1 and friend of many.

This page performs as a hoarding place for my activity on the internet and out of it. Like many, I am overloaded by information from the cyberspace… part of this information is generated by each one of us, so in order to organize at least the information I create, I’ll try to gather here my blog posts, articles, presentations, twitter tweets, online comunities etc. For more in-depth content, don’t forget to visit the blog page at http://testing.gershon.info.
I’m interested in everything software testing. Especially philosophical questions, and am trying to learn enough to be able to understand (not always answer) them. I am trying to be a context-driven software tester, which is a daunting taks to do properly. But we’re not afraid of daunting tasks, are we?

Please don’t hesitate to contact me in any form you like (email, or see the right sidebar for more options…).
