Software Testing Live Ep 4 — Community Commentary

Jun 18, 2025

A collage of live feedback comments from a virtual session, displayed in chat-style boxes with names and timestamps. Comments include praise, questions, and reflections on the session's format and content. Examples:

Neil Taylor: "Its really cool to have these mini diversions to other concepts and tools along the way in these live testing sessions..."

Simon MoTaverse: "I like how Callum plays back his understanding. And that sparks reflection from Ben the PO."

Elisse C: "Definitely the inquisitiveness is inspirational!"

Olly Fairhall: "Are you going to do that annoying thing where an order is marked as shipped when it’s just that the label has been printed?"

Amandine Douguedroit: "I absolutely love what is happening right now, every question that Callum asks makes me think 'Ooooh yes, good question!'"

Peter Odogwu: "And with delayed rejected payments, could have paid orders regressed to pending."

Other comments express interest in applying session ideas to teams, keeping many tabs open, and suggestions for improving user stories.

The background features a purple design with geometric shapes.
