A list of MoT Profile Badges

[simon_tomes]

Did you know that your community contributions matter? Ministry of Testing loves to share badges to celebrate your contributions!

Curious to know what badges you might have? Visit your MoT profile page and select “My Badges”.

In the future, we’ll display all available-to-earn badges on your MoT profile, not just the one’s you’ve earned. In the meantime, whilst that’s on our product backlog. here’s a list of all the MoT badges you can earn.

Note these badges are different to the badges awarded via The Club. One day we might merge them all, yet for now, they are separate.

So many great badges to collect, lovely to see the list of what is available. Best of luck to everyone in trying to get them all

[ujjwal.singh (Ujjwal Kumar Singh)]

At my current pace of earning badges, I might finally collect them all… by the end of my next life!

[ansha_batra (Ansha)]

Learning never stops, and neither does the badge collection!

[ghawkes (Gary Hawkes)]

I don’t set out to get the badges and never will…but I’d be lying if I said they didn’t make a difference Learning a lot about others and myself in the process.

In the Pokemon spirit
Gotta catch em’ all!

[kristof (Kristof Van Kriekingen)]

Thanks @simon_tomes for creating an overview <3
It also gives me an overview of things I’ve been missing it seems! Where does one need to upload Meme’s? I can’t believe I’ve been missing out on meme’s!!

[demivm (Demi Van Malcot)]

You can find memes here at the bottom of the MOT homepage. Here is the link to the memes page Software Testing Memes | Ministry of Testing which has an ‘Add memes’ button

MoT Inked This badge is awarded to those who have permanently inked themselves with the MoT logo (new and old).

How can someone be MoT inked?

[rosie (Rosie Sherry)]

Being inked means having an MoT tattoo. There’s a few people with them.

[mariem_safi]

I can’t have one for religious reasons but does a non permanent one count ?

[ujjwal.singh (Ujjwal Kumar Singh)]

I can inked my laptop with the MoT logo because

it’s my laptop that connects me with the Ministry of Testing…always

[mwc (Michael Close)]

It’s great to see a list of all the available badges available.

Cant wait to see if there is a league table of which members have been able to collect the most, as they must be the stars of the MoTaverse.

[c32hedge (Caleb Crandall)]

Personally I think if it was turned into a competition it would take the fun out of it.

Apologies for the dark humor but had to make this meme to express my feeling on it…
