“I had the pleasure of working with Kyle during his stay at Penta. His high-level of thinking and experience was very valuable in tackling the complex problems associated with technology. He understands the 'what' and the 'why' of development and is a fantastic resource.”

How can you involve end-users in software testing and bug reporting?
I've had success through the use of feature flags and end-user opt-in to beta and A/B testing programs. The chief benefits I've realized: - End-users are testing *in production*, on "their turf". End-users provide higher quality feedback when the feature they are testing is right inline with their normal workflows. - By using an opt-in, end-users understand "it might not be perfect". Their feedback is measured and focused on the qualitative aspects of the feature, rather than frustration they might face. - "Testing in Production" reinforces good development practices such as short feedback loops, preferring iteration over perfection, and making sure what you're building is something end-users actually "want".
