Want to practise API testing? Try an API that lies to you image

For Dark and Aggressive I would put more then just Malevolant. For example glass half empty or doomsday thinking also counts as dark, but isn't really malevolant. Also is Empirical included in Scientific mindset? And intuitive in Exploratory?

Testing data quality effectively image
Very interesting article! In the projects I currently work on, data is one of the most important quality aspects. With constantly changing business requirements and changes to processes and code, it's very difficult to keep good quality of data in the test environment. I regularly have to check if the data we work with and base ourselves on is good data. I'm going to look into the bronze, silver and gold stages some more!

I've been in testing since 2023, since then I never stopped learning and taking every opportunity I've come across. From becoming test lead not long after I started, to being a community lead for testing and for AI in at the company I work at. Nowadays I'm learning the ropes of leading with quality as I have added the role of quality manager of my department to my growing list of titles.
