Getting tests that catch real failures is the hard part. Join us on Oct 8 and see how it's done.
Awesome reflection and points, Philippa.
Great to catch up in person at Leading with AI.
Amazing words, Judy. Thank you for sharing them. π€©
Wonderful insights, Svitlana! Thanks for sharing.
I also believe in the power of asking questions. I wonder then, is developing our ability to ask questions going to be the thing that helps us thrive as we continue to evolve with AI in our testing and quality lives?
Ha, brilliant! I initially thought bug then thought feature. A feature to encourage people to try something new or remind folks that other different items are available: "Ah, big mac sauce, maybe I also want a big mac?" kinda thing.
Gonna assume you pressed the "Not Today" button at the bottom.
Galaxy Mcflurry and Big Mac Sauce anyone? π€’
Nice one, James.
Glad to see you at Leading with AI. π
Likewise!
It seems clear we might all like to just jump into these AI things without fully considering other people's position and feelings about it all. And Preeti was great at reemphasising the importance of intentional care.
I also enjoyed learning about the importance of outcomes over adoption rates.
Thanks for being part of the day, Saida. See you around the MoTaverse soon. π€©
Let's GROW! π
Thanks for this, Edward. Good to see you in person!
I enjoyed Nick's practical approach to applying AI to something familiar. Will be good to see more of that.
Where else do you think this approach could be applied?
Super helpful reflections, Andy. Thanks for sharing.
Great to see you in person. π
