1/ Can we automate all testing? 🧪🤖 Automation is often seen as the answer to slow, tedious manual testing. But testing isn’t just "pass" or "fail"—it's about reducing uncertainty and understanding system behaviour. Here's why #automation alone isn’t enough. 🧵👇 #testing

6/ The takeaway? Balance is key. Use automation for predictable knowns and exploratory testing to illuminate the unknowns. Together, they give you the feedback needed to manage uncertainty and build quality software. ⚖️ #AgileTesting #TechLeadership

Being on that stage was one of the best experiences I’ve had in my speaking life! So good
What do Sears, Blockbuster, and Nokia have in common? They are all victims of how they handled change. Jitesh Gosai, @JitGo, from @BBC, is on stage now at #LeadDevLondon, giving a talk on the uncertainty of change and how our brains identify and process it.

Replying to @Geek_Manager @JitGo
“Change doesn’t come out of nowhere We need to develop: • Humility: we don’t have all the answers • Curiosity: always more to learn (understand & work through complex vs complicated eg Cynefin) • Empathy: we need to support each other” @JitGo #LeadDevLondon

1\ Amy Edmundson's definition of psychological safety, I feel, is the most concise and holds the key term when you’re thinking about PS. 🧵👇 #psychologicalsafety #Risk #teamwork – at Cheadle, England

4\ Why is it a risk? Well, we don’t know how other people will react if we disclose these things. What would they say or do if we did? We often decide it’s better to stay quiet until we’re more certain of the outcome. – at Cheadle, England

Fin\ How do we take more interpersonal risks? Well, that gets a bit more tricky, but the people that have the most influence are our leaders. If they are willing to take interpersonal risks AND support their people to do so, then others are more likely to as well. – at Cheadle, England
