In most cases, do not do things alone

The image is a screenshot from a video with two women on screen, each in their own video panel. The background is a dark purple with white star-like speckles and shapes. On the left panel, a woman identified as "Nataliia Burmei" is shown from the chest up. She has light brown hair pulled back and is wearing a dark-colored top. She is smiling and looking slightly to her right. Behind her, a bright room with a white wall and a doorway is visible. There's a light fixture hanging from the ceiling and what appears to be a framed picture or sign on the wall behind her. On the right panel, a woman identified as "Jenny Bramble" is shown. She has blonde or light brown hair and is wearing glasses. She is also looking towards the viewer. Her background is a more natural setting, possibly a sunroom or a room with large windows, showing trees and plants outside. There are also several houseplants visible behind her. At the bottom of the screen, there's a text overlay that appears to be a caption from the video, reading: "in most cases, do not do things alone." In the top left corner, there is a logo that says "MINISTRY OF TESTING".

"I love when I see my junior testers ask for help, and the senior goes, I actually don't know either. Let's go find out together." shares Jenny.

So cool to see Nataliia Burmei and Jenny Bramble vibe off each other's ideas and advice.

I'm watching and reviewing their test chat video for the Software Testing Essentials Certificate (STEC)– Module 14. Fail to plan, plan to fail, Lesson 4: What to do when testing blocks progress.

Yet another wonderful conversation and such a handy way to learn from two super professionals.

As Nataliia shares during their conversation, "In most cases, do not do things alone." 💡
