I found this so inspiring and so interesting to listen to. Thank you Clare!

I moticed something recently... image
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.
The dev conference search is on image
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.
The night our โ€œhighly availableโ€ system went dark: How testers can drive resiliency image
This is a very important article. We often make the mistake that our testing will find if there are resiliency issues if we have a production like environment, but consciously test resiliency. Thanks for this ๐Ÿ‘
Five practical ways to use AI as a partner in Quality Engineering image
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 kicking myself that I didn't think of this one so thanks! ๐Ÿ˜
Pizza options (including a little affirmation!) image
I'd like Margherita Pizza please...but with sausage, pepperoni and spicy beef...without a tomato base...medium...swap the mozzarella for vegan cheese...extra cheese....with less cheese.
I blame Ministry of Testing for this! image
