Box of ducks
30 Sep 2024
Rosie Sherry (CEO and founder of Ministry of Testing) delivered a box of ducks for all ambassadors to hide at TestBash Brighton 2024. Why ducks? Why not? Rubber ducking is a handy skill for us testers. Need help? Ask your rubber duck a question and see what happens. If the duck can't help, you could also rubber duck (ask) the community.
