Geoff has been working really hard for the past few months, writing pyUseCase 3.0. It has some very substantial improvements over previous versions, and I am very excited about it. He's written about how it works here.It's a tool for testing GUIs with a record-replay...
Today I listened to a presentation about "Scrum for Managers" from Jens Östergaard. He's a big, friendly Dane who grew up in Sweden, and now lives in the UK. I first met Jens at XP2003 in Genoa, when he had just run his first successful Scrum project. These days he...
The programme for Scandinavian Developer Conference has just been published. I think we have a fantastic line up of speakers this year. I am particularly pleased Michael Feathers, Brian Marick and Diana Larsen have agreed to join us, and that this year my husband...
It occurred to me that I should mention that I now work for Iptor Konsult AB rather than IBS JavaSolutions. This is not due to my changing jobs, rather that IBS decided that since we don't do the same things as the rest of the company, we should have a separate name...

I spoke at Smidig2009 about a month ago, and they have now put up videos of all the talks. So I just had the uncanny experience of watching myself speak (here is a link to it). I'm sure my swedish accent sounds better in my head when I'm talking, but I do apparently...
I've just heard that I've been accepted as a speaker at JFokus, in Stockholm in January. I'll be saying something about how to write good tests using Selenium, a tool I've been using a fair amount lately. I'm looking forward to the chance to meet up with the wider...
I'm off to Oslo on Wednesday for Smidig 2009. They've just announced the programme, which consists of lightning talks in the morning, and open space in the afternoons. I'll be giving a lightning talk on Friday morning about why you might want to go to a coding dojo....
I wrote a blog post about these tools on my company blog. In swedish.
Hi – I´m Emily!
I am an independent consultant with Bache Consulting and chair of the Samman Technical Coaching Society. As a technical coach I work with software development organizations who want to get better at the technical practices needed to be agile, including Test-Driven Development, Refactoring and Incremental Design. I live in Gothenburg, Sweden, although I am originally from the UK. I’ve written two books: “Technical Agile Coaching with the Samman method” and “The Coding Dojo Handbook”. I teach for both O’Reilly and Pluralsight. I’m married to Geoff Bache, creator of TextTest.
