OK, a colleague sent this to me.  It's basically a suggested set of new testing styles that could be applied to projects that are a little... out of control...

The following testing programs will be implemented immediately as additions to the regularly scheduled regression testing:

• Aggression Testing: Punching all developers with an open bug.
• Confession Testing: All developers must admit what they either cannot do or have given up on.
• Digression Testing: Developers must change the subject and ramble when the topic of bugs comes up.
• Repression Testing: All developers must tell everyone who they secretly want to kill.
• Oppression Testing: All developers will be required to work 24 hours a day until all bugs are fixed.
• Depression Testing: All developers must explain which bugs make them sad, and why.
• Succession Testing: Developers must be able to name the chain of command in the event that a PM dies.
• Hessian Testing: QA will be done with a sack over your head.
• Joe Pescian Testing: All functions to be tested by a hot-headed Mafioso.

I have been trained at several levels:

ISTQB Foundation Course in Software Testing
ISTQB Intermediate Course in Software Testing
ISTQB Advanced Test Manager

I have attended all of these courses at Testing Solutions Group in Houndsditch in London, and I can say that they are a fantastic group with good training abilities.  I passed all of my courses with them first time, and cannot recommend them highly enough.

My only other recommendation is that these training courses can be brutal due to the sheer quantity of stuff delivered / discussed.  Stay over if you can, rather than commute - though avoid the Liverpool St Travelodge just behind the training centre - that's pretty rank.
