No more Big Test Theory
08 Jul 2026
After 10 years, I'm retiring my website, The Big Test Theory.com. When I blog or share anything, it is on the MoTaverse and / or on LinkedIn. I've not posted anything on there for about a year, so there's no point in paying for it. I'm not sure yet whether it will still be available, but I have about a month to move the few things that aren't here yet. Including my Periodic Table of Testing. There is my 2019 talk at TestBash Essentials about it, but not the table and breakdown. So look for some posts coming soon, and maybe I'll rerecord my rap about it to the tune of We Will Rock You, called We Will Test You. And yes, if you have watched the talk, I did mess it up the first time around! There is only basic alternative text for the image as I'll share a full text version seperately soon.
