My first experience of the Leeds Testing Atelier and curiosity about notetaking image
Note-taking at events is such a powerful tool and one we shouldn't underestimate. For sure we're fortunate that a lot of talks are recorded and can be revisited later. One might think, "Ah, I need to concentrate on listening, I don't need to take notes as I can come back to the recording later." Yet there's something in the act of taking notes β€” hand-written, typed, drawn – that plants a seed in our learning. Watching back later joins the dots with the notes.

Nice one, Petros. Great to see you all gather like that. Perhaps an opportunity to invite a couple of attendees to share their learnings about 1) What defines a good tester and 2) How AI fits into testing. They could post as a memory.
