Except no such setting exits in the app under the chromecast entry (this was Google's own how-to page). Maybe it's under the Home app's settings? Yes, there's a Restricted Mode, oh, but it's off 🤔 Maybe it's the Rooms settings, no, off there as well.

Tools aren't going to make you great testers. Your creativity, way of thinking, and ability to ask insightful questions will.

Complaining that testing (in general) slows down software delivery is like complaining that brakes slow down a race car.

1) I've been in software development for about 35 years. It's a little discouraging that to this day, many people still believe that the point of testing is to get the right answers to prescribed questions, rather than to reveal the actual state of the product, problems and all.

I have a free ticket to CAST 2021 (@AST_News), an in-person conference happening next week in Atlanta, GA. If you are vaccinated and wanting to go to a #testing event this please DM me. I'm looking to help someone who couldn't otherwise make it! RT's are much appreciated!
Sat outside on my patio this morning and had coffee with @RobertASabourin We spoke about so many things including family, renovations, pizza, and of course software! There's nobody who gets my brain pumped & flowing with great stuff like Rob does!

Longtime xmind and mind map user here. I'm looking for a good mind mapping software that will allow my team to collaborate & brainstorm together in real time, all together. Any recommendations? #testing #softwaretesting #mindmapping

@NiagaraParks Hello, my family and I just got back from a great, memorable visit to Niagara Falls. Unfortunately 2 of the souvenirs we purchased from Grand View Marketplace were stolen today. Not big items, but important ones (something we collect). 1/2

@NiagaraParks I have my receipt, receipt number, item name, item number. The products are not available in the online shop. Would you be able to send/ship me the products? I'll pay for them of course. Do let me know if this would be possible.

@belairdirect I made a simple update to my policy over 15 days ago, & have followed up by phone 3 times - the update still hasn't been finalized. Each time I'm told "don't worry it will update in a few days & you'll see the updates in client center. What's going on? Frustrating.

@belairdirect Each time the representative I reach tells me the exact same thing - it's a broken record and nothing is being resolved. They have no clue what's going on, just keep telling me it will update in 24-48 hours. I've wasted so much of my time. Extremely frustrating.

If I was playing for the Habs I would drop the gloves against Chris Lee no back down #Gohabsgo

I hate going down this road but the NHL really shouldn't have Chris Lee officiating #Habs games. There must be something personal. #HabsIO

Chris Lee with a front row seat to Brayden McNabb punching Nick Suzuki in the face. Nothing. I don't see how the NHL can continue trotting these two guys out. IT IS THE THIRD ROUND OF THE PLAYOFFS.

Did Chris Lee ever try out for the #Habs and get cut?

Confusion is a necessary feeling when finding problems with software. AI and automation cannot replicate this. You might think you are testing well but you really are not. – at Hamilton, Ontario

Wondering why you should attend our webinar May 4th on TrackTik's 360 partners program🤔? Here are 3 reasons 👇

Once again, a basic asymmetry that people MUST remember. A test CANNOT ensure that everything went well (and a check definitely cannot). A test CAN help us to detect a problem, but we cannot reliably and logically say that there's NO problem; only that we haven't observed one.

a) Setting out to demonstrate that the product works, instead of trying to challenge the product to find bugs that will matter to people who use it. b) Calling (a) "testing", confusing it with "showing examples" and "demonstration".
