We are proud to be a part of Testing Podcast family. You can find audio podcasts on software testing there. All of them.

Music at the beginning and the end of the podcast is Exam in Composition A To by Andreas himself.

Felipe Knorr Kuhn prepared most of the questions for this episode, but got sick just before recording, so we recorded without him.
