A meme with a queue of people for STEC, and no queue for ISTQB.
Software Testing Essentials Certificate (STEC) is here!

Yes, a bit of tongue and cheek, not to be taken too seriously, but also memes are a way of self expression. And this is my way of sharing that I'm excited for STEC and all the professional software testers who are contributing to it. It feels like a course that truly welcomes people into our much loved profession.

A grey bearded guy, eating spaghetti, using a pair of scissors. Meme text reads: "Spaghetti code? Take scissors, and call it macaroni!"
Spaghetti code?

In our retrospective, a developer said that one way to deal with spaghetti code is to take a pair of scissors, cut it, and call it macaroni

A group photo of four people at Ministry of Testing event Testbash 2024, standing in front of a purple backdrop with stars and planetary designs. Two people are wearing bright pink 'Ministry of Testing' t-shirts with lanyards, one person wears a black cap, and another person wears a blue hat and red jacket. All four are smiling broadly at the camera, and two are wearing glasses. The background features a space-themed design with a large blue planet and white stars.

Part of Buckingham Palace in London. The main sign reads “The King’d Gallery”. The sign on the side reads “The Queen’s Gallery”.
When you can't quite commit to accepting and checking the rebrand

An app rebrand is quite the testing task. New logos, themes and colours to check everywhere. Sometimes a rebrand can't be done with a big-bang approach.

I spotted this on a walk next to Buckingham Palace and wondered if they raised the bug as "Will not fix" or if they just made it a P3 and stuck it back on the bug backlog for later. I feel the main stakeholder wouldn't be too impressed with that prioritisation decision. 😉
