Best mentee question ever (for me)
14 Aug 2026
On a mentoring call this week with someone in their first year of software testing, I had this question.
"You have mentioned accessibility a couple of times. Can you tell me what that means?"
Great questions and a great reminder that every conversation is different and each person has different levels of understanding.
Of course, I shared the glossary term 'accessibility testing'. Then a couple of my articles on the subject. Maybe a new advocate in the making!
