+The Testing working group is happy to announce a new talk on Software
+Testing on Wednesday February 18, 1-2 PM EST.
+
+Title: **Your Requirements Specification as an Executable Test Suite** 
+
+Presenter: **Brad Richardson**
+
+### Abstract
+
+Automated testing is a well established best practice in software
+development, so you are writing test suites for your projects right?
+But how useful is your test suite after you have finished writing it?
+Does it help you to pinpoint the source of bugs? Does it help you to
+make changes to functionality, or get in the way? Would a new
+developer find it useful for getting their bearings in your project?
+Can you tell which requirement a given test is meant to verify?
+
+Experience in the nuclear power industry, with its emphasis on quality
+assurance and high standards for verification, provides motivation to
+always have satisfactory answers to these questions. This presentation
+provides guidance for writing a well organized suite of tests that
+leads to positive answers to the previous questions. The primary
+lesson is that a test suite organized as an executable verification of
+the requirements of the project provides long term value in the form
+of easier on-boarding for new team members and increased developer
+productivity during maintenance activities. Examples and
+demonstrations are provided using the Veggies Fortran Unit Testing
+Framework, which has been designed to aid in writing test suites of
+the form described above.
+
+### Biography
+
+Brad Richardson has a variety of experience and qualifications related
+to scientific and engineering software development and maintenance. He
+has been involved in the development and/or maintenance of multiple,
+highly-complex, safety-related, legacy software packages used in
+various scientific and engineering fields. Brad has also been involved
+in the development of multiple newer open-source software packages,
+making use of modern software development tools and techniques. Brad
+has taught multiple classes, including on the basics of version
+control with git, modern Fortran basics, software design patterns in
+Fortran, and modern software development practices (i.e. unit testing
+and continuous integration). Brad currently works as a Research
+Software Engineer in the NASA Flight Sciences Laboratory Computing
+Center at Johnson Space Center, where he assists systems
+administrators with automating tasks, as well as scientists and
+engineers in developing and optimizing their software to run on center
+clusters.
