Matt Heusser gave me a black belt for my reply to his black-belt testing challenge. We exchanged some thoughts via e-mail. If you would like to get to know, what to do in order to get one, too, you should read his blog entries on this: Black-Belt Testing Challenge. Maybe I will decide to post my replies to his challenge in some weeks from now. But since the challenge is ongoing, I decided to keep it private for the moment.

Matt’s profile was interesting to me:

I’m a software craftsman with an interest in testing, project management, development, how people learn and systems improvement.

I just realised that his statement nearly fully describes the view I have from myself as well. The ideas we exchanged via e-mail were pretty interesting and I’m now looking forward to meet him in personal.
