Is generative AI the future of testing?

Great news! The talk recordings from TestBash Spring are now available and the live session recordings are coming soon. 🌷 Defo check out what's already available. I missed Michael Kutz's talk: How (Not) to Measure Quality and I'm looking forward to catching up on that soon — I heard it was excellent. Measuring quality is always a hot topic in the testing community and beyond.  

March was a good month to celebrate folks who documented their thoughts and experiences. Check out this thread with links to many helpful testing blog posts. Andreea Drani talks about accessibility testing, Lisa Crispin shares advice on working relationships and Apoorva Ram connects design thinking with testing. Give them a like to share your appreciation.  
 

🙋 Can you help with the following?

1. Rashmi is unclear about this interview question
2. How do you champion quality? Callum would like to hear from you
3. Do you do mobile app performance testing? Perhaps you can help Anindita
4. Tobias is keen to find out if you've used Codium.ai before
5. How do you test a location-based app? asks Yagi
6. Add to the list of YouTube Video Channels about Software Testing 📺

And congrats to Philippa Jennings for landing a new job. Did you also recently start a new job? Share on this thread so we can celebrate with you. 🎉

Have a good week.
