Where do you practice testing?
If you're completely new to the testing craft or a seasoned testing professional you could always check out this new wiki page: Products, places, apps and websites to practice software testing. It's editable too so feel free to add items you feel are missing from the list.
Last week I was pleased to see all the TestBash Spring talks go live. It always makes me smile how specific the watch time is for a collection of TestBash talks — this one is 8 hours 36 minutes and 20 seconds! 😃 The playlist now includes all the live interactive talks such as Laveena Ramchandani's Ask Me Anything on Skills and Strategies for New Test Managers and the discussion on How AI Can Impact Our Testing Roles with Nicola Martin, Tariq King and Daniel Knott. I managed to see both live and they were super informative. Well worth watching if you missed them.
📖 I see Mark Wintergham has been busy curating another type of list: Reading lists. Have a look at the following collections:
- Software Testing Essentials
- Testing Strategies and Plans
- Automation In Testing
- Automation
- Mobile Testing Insights
What a treasure trove of learning material! 🏆
