After being out for it a few years, started to look at front end web automation again. So much changed with new tools and all. Put out some questions, and got great answers form people far more experienced (got to love the community).
Following on from the first win, learned up on Cypress. Nice to tinker with new tools
The (under wraps) diy project is nearing completion. Hope to share the end result with you soon
Fail
I was a bit too rigorous with cleaning up the hard disk of one of the systems under test. Lots of test evidence lost, and spend half a day re-building the whole machine.
These remain the best threads each week, love reading through them all.
I recognised some scope creep in a project, discussed with my manager and that accountability really helped
Made some plans for TestBash Home, as sponsors…but also the whole 24 hour marathon with @undevelopedbruce, which has now already had pledged £700 for the Covax scheme (you can sponsor us here)
Recorded a promo video for a panel discussion I’m doing with @veerle, @hannadernbrant, @sheymouse & @simplysanne at the end of the month. I think we’re going to have a lot of fun
I led a client discussion for my new project, and I didn’t lose my job
Finally, we are going retro and visiting Butlins this weekend and actually getting away!!
My big win was working with a developer on refining a story, and its tests, before he made it available for testing. This meant we were avoiding creating bugs rather than finding them and fixing them!
Decided I wanted to learn more about Risk Storming and Threat Modeling
Attented a Risk Storming Workshop, I’ve got “Riskstorming the Deathstar” queued up
Dug up some videos on Threat Modeling, still got plenty to learn
Made a Racket reminding myself, and others, that I don’t need to learn ALL THE THINGS NOW, I should remind myself othis advice as I continue to want to learn about every new shiny…
Finalizing the review of the french translation of the Agile Testing Condensed Book with Benjamin Butel.
Started saying No to many things because I realized that I really need time for me
I didn’t find time to make new rackets. I was on top 3 last week but this week no energy at all for new rackets but enjoyed listening to testing folks rackets
Achieved staying firm and saving team from stretching hours for late build delivered product testing and managed to say ‘No’ to management with facts for such random requests for testing.
bid wars incoming
