Holy schnikes! I've been sitting on this for over a month.

I'm beyond honored to have been invited to this event. And I even get to do my favorite talk about #testing and #HeavyMetal.

And then I see the rest of the speakers' list. There are some high-end people on this that I love and respect.

Please come join us!!!

#Blog rewind, part 3!

My least viewed post. I thought this one would resonate more.

How could this one have been more valuable? Closer to what I normally write about? Not interesting? Not technical?

#Blog rewind, part 2!

This is the post that seemed to have the most views, possibly it's one of my most dev-centric and it solved an issue for, I suspect, many people

Enjoy!

Another week, another convo.
For this #ThrowbackThursday, but on Friday, here's another set of thoughts on "too early to test"

How about #testing assumptions? How might #automation help in this situation, if at all?

Lately, I've been in a few discussions about "when #testing can start", "there's nothing to test yet", & "it's too soon for #automation". These discussions reminded me of this blog post I wrote a while back.

Using #AI to create your #automation for #SoftwareTesting? Cool.
Using record and playback or drag and drop? Cool.
Writing in a programming language? Cool.

That's all #SoftwareDevelopment and we must treat it as such. Join us when I talk about automation being software. It's FREE!

#SoftwareTesting, #QA, #QE, #Automation, and peeps!

In your #SoftwareDevelopment and #testing, consider that some people have more than one kid AND some of those kids have the same birthdate. It would be great for us parents of #twins if sign-up flows took that into account.
