One of the best things that has served me well over my career is not becoming married to what I produce.
Yes, I put my all into the things I build, but if we need to throw it away for whatever reason, I'm ok with that.

Fail fast!
But also know that failing fast is NOT about failing, it's about learning fast, getting feedback fast and applying the learning.
Failing fast should not be at the cost of creative and critical thinking.
It should not replace meaningfulness and thoughtfulness.
An excellent meetup with @_basdijkstra tonight on API Automation.

Two books that every software tester must read:
1. Perfect Software and other illusions about testing, by Jerry Weinberg
2. Lessons Learned in Software Testing by Cem Kaner, James Bach and Bret Pettichord
Both are old books written many years ago, but t…lnkd.in/gacgYKPX

Once again: the only thing flaky about a so-called “flaky test” is someone’s dismissal of it as “flaky”. A “flaky test” is always evidence of some misconception about the product, the check code, the environment, and the relationships between them. Investigate and address that.

debugging strategy: write a tiny program
ALT strategy: write a tiny program Does your bug involve a library you don't understand? illustration: person (thought bubble): UGH, `requests` is NOT working how I expected it to! I like to convert my code using that library into a tiny standalone program which has the same bug: illustration: giant buggy program (squiggly mess) -> 20 lines of buggy code (simple) I find this makes it WAY EASIER to experiment and ask for help.

Remember, while we're busy solving bigger product problems, there are people who are busy giving feedback about the size and colour of fonts.
(I used to work at one such place where management focused truly on line spacing and font rather than what the real problems were). :)

Excellent testing is : "an open investigation by skilled technical people."
Not test cases, not verification, not validation, not confirming that something works as expected.
But, an investigation, exploration, questioning, modelling, etc by skilled people.
This unique class introduces Rapid Software Testing, a context-driven methodology for testing any product that includes or involves software. Through hands-on activities and interactive discussion, wechallenge assumptions and expose common
