Overview |
I practice law, teach, and consult on technical and management issues within the software development community. My overall focus is on software customer satisfaction. Technical: I've managed every aspect of software development, including software development projects, software testing groups and user documentation groups. I've also worked as a programmer, a human factors analyst / UI designer, a salesperson, a technical writer, and an associate in an organization development consulting firm. Served on technical standards committees and as an Examiner for the California Quality Awards. Founder and co-host of the Los Altos Workshops on Software Testing. Legal: As an attorney, my career mission lies in development of a rational and fair body of law governing software quality. I do represent customers, employees, and software development contractors, but my practice has primarily been in public service, usually pro bono, such as legislative analysis and advocacy. For the past three years, I've been most heavily involved in efforts to develop uniform laws governing software contracts and electronic contracting. |

Publications and Courses |
I publish and speak frequently about software development and the law. Click here for a complete list. BooksTesting Computer Software (2nd Ed.),with Jack Falk & Hung Quoc Nguyen, International Thomson Computer Press, 1993. Award of Excellence: Society for Technical Communication's Northern California Technical Publications Competition. This is the best selling book in the field. The first edition of this book laid foundation for the Good Enough Testing movement. Bad Software: What To Do When Software Fails with David L. Pels. John Wiley & Sons, 1998. Praised by Ralph Nader, Watts Humphrey, and other leading journalists and experts in software quality and software customer support, this book teaches mass market software customers how to effectively deal with bad software (and its vendors). Good Enough Testing with James Bach & Brian Marick. in preparation, publication in 1999.. This book collects papers from three of the leaders of the Good Enough Testing movement. We comment on and criticize each others' papers, illustrating the ways that we analyze common testing and development issues. CoursesTesting Computer Software. This 3-day course provides a pragmatic introduction to systematic black box software testing. Its topics include test planning, test case design, testing coverage, bug reporting and analysis, and management of test automation. I teach it at U.C. Berkeley Extension, UC Santa Cruz Extension, through Software Quality Engineering (www.sqe.com), and at client sites (including several leading software publishers). Concise Test Planning. This is a 1-day or 2-day course. Learn how to convey the logic of thousands of test cases without writing thousands of pages of descriptions. Use the test planning process as a structured means of exploring the program. Save money, find more bugs, find them sooner, and keep your brain more engaged in your work. This is not a miracle cure. It has a price--you have to break some rules. Your documentation might not meet some standards. It might not be acceptable to some customers (such as DoD). The approach is untraditional, but I think it provides ways to work faster/cheaper/better under a wide range of circumstances. The 2-day version is customized for the client. Software Quality & the Law. This 1-day course considers the variety of legal theories under which software developers/publishers can be held accountable for bad software. I provide an overview of negligence, malpractice, fraud, contract, and consumer protection laws as they apply to software. I've taught this at U.C. Berkeley Extension and privately, and now offer it privately (by arrangement only). Los Altos Workshop On Software Testing (LAWST)I am the founder of LAWST and, with Brian Lawrence, the co-host of the LAWST meetings. Traditional academic conferences offer breadth of coverage and of networking, but don't provide a structured opportunity for detailed discussion. LAWST is the opposite. There are only 12-20 attendees, all there by invitation. We focus on one narrowly defined topic for two days. We use a facilitator and recorder to manage the flow of discussion. We share data, war stories, and good practices, but in the context of a meeting structured as a discussion rather than as a series of formal presentations. This gives us the time to explore any example or data set to the depth that we want to go. It also wipes out the BS factor inherent in some technical conferences, because the speaker can never hide behind "I'm sorry, we've run out of time." I organized the first LAWST in response to data showing low productivity of test automation efforts. Different companies had solved different pieces of the GUI automation puzzle but good techniques were not circulating. Even when they were mentioned in conferences, they were often not explored in enough depth to be applicable in another company. So, we focused on maintainability of GUI automation. The next three meetings have focused on requirements for test automation, documentation of test cases, and when to not automate a test case. The upcoming meeting (LAWST 5) starts from a paper by Doug Hoffman and looks for a practical framework for discussing different types of oracles. LAWST 6 will probably start from papers by Dave Gelperin and Dick Bender and focus on testability. Brian and I see LAWST as a successful approach to sharing technical information. We are glad to help other groups set up comparable meetings. In some circumstances (non-profit meeting with no compensation to the organizers, attendees drawn from several different companies), we will help a group run its first meeting for free (requiring reimbursement of our out-of-pocket travel expenses.) Our expectation is that the group will be self-managing after the first meeting. |
Recent Technical Work |
Overview: I do short term assessments and consultations (including some trial consulting). When I have time, I also take longer term projects to create or rebuild testing, documentation or product development groups. In these longer term projects, I often manage the group on a half-time basis. The goal is to make the group effective, well-placed in the company, and self-managing. Network Computer, Inc. (internet computers) (1996): consulted on testing and documentation processes. Wrote an internal-use manual on NC system security and an overview on security for the sales force. ShareData, Inc. (software managing equity compensation plans) (1994-95): set up and managed the documentation group and helped set up the testing group. The WELL (on-line services)(1994): early project management for the WELL 2.0 user interface project, including determining requirements, writing the user interface design and external specs, and setting up testing and documentation. |
Legal Work |
Law Office of Cem Kaner (1/94 to present). I work as a solo practitioner. My client list is confidential. I focus on computer-related law, including drafting and negotiating contracts (representing development service providers), reviewing book publishing contracts (for authors), and sometimes representing employees and dissatisfied customers. Much of my practice is pro bono. I devote a great deal of time to advocacy of honest business practices.
Deputy District Attorney (pro bono) County of Santa Clara (4/94-7/94). I gained courtroom experience by prosecuting misdemeanors for the County for three months. I tried five cases, argued motions, and negotiated many settlements. Contract Attorney / Clerk, Law Office of Berne Reuben (12/93-4/94). Drafted product liability interrogatories. Analyzed legal and factual issues involving employment, personal injury, professional responsibility, and toxic torts. |
Technical Employment History |
Power Up Software (1/89 to 2/94). Consumer-oriented productivity software.
Electronic Arts, Software Test Manager (1/88-11/88). EA publishes entertainment and personal creativity software. I founded the test group in EA's Creativity Division and managed it until the Division closed. Received Electronic Arts' Achievement Award (given to one person per quarter) in August, 1988. Telenova, Human Factors Analyst / Software Engineer (10/84-1/88). User interface designer and programmer for a voice / data PBX (private telephone system). The design work included field research such as extended observation of switchboard operators and receptionists, and the writing of detailed design documents. I wrote UI prototype code and production code, on PC's and Sun workstations, in C and in a proprietary LISP-based language. I also wrote the system's online help and compiled a large (few hundred pages) diagnostics document for system support engineers. For a few months after a large staff turnover, I rebuilt and supervised the software QA group. MicroPro (WordStar), Software Testing Supervisor (7/83-10/84). MicroPro published business software including word processing, database, project management, and financial planning products. I led the Testing Technology Team and was responsible for developing testing tools and standards for the QA department. I supervised product test teams of up to 9 people, and wrote a resource tracking database application. Received Vice-President's Award. |
Retail |
Kaners, 1 + 1, (1966-1983). Raised to take over my parents' clothing stores, I learned about business early in life. Working full- and part-time from age 13, was an inventory systems analyst, store manager, assistant manager, salesperson, warehouseperson, cashier, and store mascot (pre-1966). Sales Associate (part time), Egghead Discount Software (1/89-7/89). Customer contact is essential for good design. When I became a software development manager at Power Up, I was responsible for the user interface and feature set of all products that I managed. To freshen my contact with small business customers (our target market), I sold software at Egghead on Saturdays. Egghead and Power Up both liked the idea and knew that I intended a six month term. |
Organization Development |
Psylomar, Senior Associate (part-time, 06/83-07/85). Joined this consulting firm as Associate. They trained me in group process, meeting management, and analysis of corporate culture. I've taken related semester-length courses. This is strong background for mediation and consensus-driven management work. |
