awarded Ishalli Garg for:
I’d like to nominate Ishalli for a Community Star for her contribution to this masterclass. She communicated her ideas with real clarity and confidence, her explanations were grounded in genuine experience. I found myself taking pages of notes because so much of what she shared sparked new ideas for how I can introduce quality earlier in development within my own context. Her perspective helped me rethink how testers and engineers can collaborate more effectively, and I’m already looking forward to learning more from her in future sessions.

Contributions
A small repository of Markdown or text files, each describing a specific module or system component, maintained so that testers or developers can load relevant system knowledge into an AI session at the start rather than re-explaining it each time. Addresses the statelessness of AI models across sessions by externalising institutional knowledge in a reusable, session-ready format.For example: a file per microservice describing its purpose, key behaviours, and known edge cases; a file per integration describing the contract between two systems.
Master the RICCE framework to transition from manual testing to AI-augmented automation by leveraging structured prompting and the Playwright MCP agent ecosystem.
A template you can use to help pitch MoT Professional Membership to your managers. Adjust as you feel necessary.
