I moticed something recently...partly in myself, but also in the many quality conversations I've had with others. This shift to quality engineering is MoTivating! People are re-inpsired, perhaps...

"Definitely! Its given me the MoTivation not only to keep pushing quality engineering improvements outside of my QE Team as we can only achieve so much on our own. We have to bring everyone with us on the journey."

"I think thats a very real problem that we have in the community. It's great that we influence and help each other in this wonderful community but the next step is really to influence those outside it if we're going to make extra improvements to quality."

Clare Norman shares a goal: Bring quality coaching to at least one developer conference.

Maithilee connects gardening with testing and quality and it's great! How about you, what analogies or non-testing examples do you use to describe testing and quality?

Gardening meets testing. What analogy helps you describe testing and quality?

"Great article, the joy of it is its simplicity. These 5 steps are perfect examples to open everyone up to use, extend them to multiple scenarios and grow and share them. I especially like 3...even though I use AI for analysing problems frequently, I'm ..."

I was overdue doing some sketch-noting and decided to go with a talk I'd seen but was keen to see again. At MoTaCon 2025 Barry Ehigiator delivered a fantastic talk called "Beyond the titles: leadin...
