Browser Compatibility Testing Risk Analysis

I did my first presentation for the Phoenix Software Quality Association (PSQA) yesterday evening on "Browser Compatibility Testing Risk Analysis". Those who attended learned:

"The art of trimming browsers from a browser compatibility test list by knowing your users, understanding how the browser works, OS & browser facts versus misconceptions, and grouping browsers by common component versions to remove redundancy."

For those that attended I promised to post my presentation and handouts here on my blog. So here they are:

I'm thinking about screencasting this while it's fresh in my mind. If I do, it will be posted here within the next few weeks.

PSQA is always looking for presenters or a place to meet. If you can offer up either, the organization would greatly appreciate it (contact info@psqa.org). If you're in the valley, have anything to do with QA, and are not already a PSQA member, go sign up. It's free!
