Sharing sparks ideas and interests.

I see a lot of people sharing right now. They share ideas, advice, experience, questions, thoughts, demos, discussions, kudos and more. It's powerful stuff. For those that share, thank you. We acknowledge the effort you put in and the conversations you spark. We acknowledge how you're moving the testing craft forward.

And for sure we must acknowledge that a high majority of us aren't sharing. Maybe there's a small thing you could do to dip your toe into the power of sharing. Zero pressure at all yet something to ponder. 🤔

I enjoyed Ben Dowen sharing the blog posts he'd like to write about testing. And there's Lee Marshall live streaming exploratory testing sessions. How cool! Melissa Fisher asked a brilliant question that sparked many helpful replies: If you could give one tip to a software testing professional, what would it be and why?

You'll discover an abundance of sharing at TestBash UK this September. There are now a whopping 368 people attending. Wow! Part of the enjoyable experience comes from our hosts. They're a lovely bunch of people who bring plenty of energy and you can meet them by watching this short video.

Got a spare 10 minutes? How about reviewing some abstracts for TestBash Autumn? It's a good feeling to offer feedback to fellow testers. 😌 Plus it's also a great way to get a sneak peek into important topics and perhaps they spark something in you to share. ⚡️
