I've seen so many posts on speed over quality on places like LI, it saddens me too. I believe thinking skills will win out in the end, as you cannot craft quality context-appropriate prompts without thinking about how to do that.
Huge bug congrats Adam
As Donald would say, that's Quacktastic! Bug congrats
Loved the framing of clarity of thought being linked to having solid fundamental testing knowledge. Great conversation
Great take, Rahul. I feel like both AI in the loop and quality in the loop should be in the glossary
Joined and looking forward to seeing what the chapter comes up with.
I know you say you are not sure what the MoTaverse will end up looking like, but is there one big thing for 2026, and 2027 that you would love to see?
Glad you found your voice, Nadja. Here's my question.
How do you handle company and stakeholder needs that might impact product quality, for example, wanting to release before all risks are mitigated or having a lack of interest in usability or accessibility testing?
Do you do any accessibility testing? If so, what do you do, and are there any tools you would recommend?
That is a very interesting article, thanks for the answer and sharing it
I've delivered a couple of writing workshops to help folks get started with public speaking, and 'I've nothing to say' is the most common thing I've heard. A couple of questions, such as 'why are you here', 'what brought you to testing', or 'what do you find most interesting about testing', usually get you one or two lightning talks and occasionally a conference talk framework. No one has experienced what you have. You are the only you. Tell us about it.
