Tester Revelations

A chart with four columns labelled A, B, C, and D. The first column contains various testing-related terms like "software testers," "exploratory testing," and "the testing community." The second column contains verbs like "wanted to," "requested to," and "declined to." The third column contains words like "praise," "argue with," and "collaborate." The fourth column contains nouns like "developers," "product managers," and "designers." The image encourages users to combine elements from each column to create their own fictional "tester revelations." The image also includes the website ministryoftesting.com.

Want to make your own fictitious Tester revelation? Just combine any of these four elements to create your own fact-free claim! Co-created with Rosie Sherry.
