Documentation that was accurate at the time of writing but has since become outdated due to changes in the system, codebase, or process it describes. In testing, stale documentation is a significant risk because teams may test against expectations that no longer reflect actual system behaviour. Documentation stored in tools like Confluence is particularly vulnerable to going stale when it is disconnected from the development workflow and not actively maintained alongside code changes. The problem is often not that documentation was never written, but that there is no mechanism to keep it current.

An approach to quality in which teams without dedicated quality engineers are equipped with the knowledge, templates, and tooling to make sound testing decisions independently. Rather than requiring a specialist to be present for every significant project or incident, self-serve testing relies on well-designed prompts, charter libraries, and structured guidance that carry quality thinking into conversations and contexts where a quality engineer is not physically present. It is particularly relevant in organisations where quality engineers are significantly outnumbered by delivery teams.

A reflection on the rigidity of templates and checklists

Same objectives, different tools!

What happened to charters and templates that guide us?

On the 19th June the Engineering Management chapter will be joining the Leading with AI - The London Edition event with a panel discussion on the impact of AI on modern Engineering Management. You ...

Last week I sat down with my fellow QA to see how they write test cases for complicated flows and how the whole approach looks like. I am not yet sure yet it is what we should be doing, but we will...

Great question from Gary Hawkes on transitioning to Quality Assistance model. As you coach engineers through with quality assistance model, are there any milestones you need to hit to raise the bar...

This month we did something differently. Instead of hosting London chapter at host company, we gathered in a pub. As you see from the photo, there were not many people, but this is a case of qualit...

It’s easy to get lost in everything AI. And tonight at the London Chapter casual catchup was no exception. We talked about AI a lot. Like most of every conversation came back to AI. But I’m gl...
