Building Rube Goldberg Machines...can easily become hard to maintain, thereby reducing or eliminating the value we intended. As in all situations, we must ensure we get value from our efforts, lest we inadvertently create our own version of Mouse Trap. #Automation #Testing #SoftwareTesting

OH: An embarrassment of riches of all awful things

Aw, man. This makes me sad 😢 🤘 blabbermouth.net/news/ace-fre...

The boys and I just made a marinade for chimichurri steak tacos. I love cooking with those two. I tried to think of some #automation or #testing content that I could derive from that, but I stopped and just enjoyed the moment. I'll get back to the content soon enough

Allen Conway did a really nice montage from #vslive San Diego youtube.com/shorts/kdKbg...

On this day in 1967, the Spider-Man animated series swung onto ABC, bringing the adventures of everyone’s favorite web-slinger to Saturday mornings.

The year was 2025. Websites still chastise users for not using dashes when specifying phone numbers. BUT, other sites chastise users for using spaces in CC numbers. AND, other sites chastise users for using dashes in phone numbers

Nice! FreedomPay has a great swag game! Thanks!

Today's the day! I'm happy to announce that I'm now a new QE Automation Architect at FreedomPay! The big bonus is that I get to work with Mark Tomlinson! Thanks to everyone who helped and supported me during my job search! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Something new. Update coming soon. Watch this space... #WhatCouldItBe 🤔 #Mysterious 🤐 #Testing 🧪 #Automation 🤖 #SoftwareTesting 👨‍💻 #SoftwareDevelopment 👨‍💻

Alas, I've used the last page in my last #STP/#STPCon tablet. At least, it was for something productive (school supplies). STPCon and the STP community were a wonderful thing, and I do miss it! A big thanks to Inflectra to keeping that spirit alive!

The mindset is less “no user will ever do that” and more “not enough users will do that to negatively impact our business”. #automation #testing #SoftwareDevelopment #SoftwareTesting responsibleautomation.wordpress.com/2025/08/05/y...

If you think A.I. will solve your problems, you don't understand technology and you don't understand your problems.

Finally... finally... New blog post coming tomorrow (Tuesday). "You broke me"

Pro tip to sales people and, I guess, #AI, #Bot, and screen scraper writers: a "Software Pediatrician" is not an actual pediatrician.

Yes, I am wearing a pretty sweet chef jacket No, I am not a chef No, I am not professionally trained No, I did not even spend the night at a Holiday inn Express last night C'est la vie

OK, though not Ozzy-inspired, this post has been getting a lot of eyeballs over the last few weeks. Since this seems to be a problem that people need to solve, I thought I'd publish it again. #Java #automation #testing #SoftwareTesting responsibleautomation.wordpress.com/2023/07/13/i...

With the passing of Ozzy, lots of people are posting lots of great tunes. I thought I'd post a few deeper cut, cover tunes he did over the years. Would it surprise you that Ozzy appeared on a song with Was (Not Was), also featuring Kim Basinger (?!) 🤘 www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TCy...

In honor of the passing of Ozzy Osbourne, I'm republishing the 2 blog posts I wrote inspired by his songs. Here is day two's... How can we test this? We must ask this question early in the development cycle. responsibleautomation.wordpress.com/2020/07/09/h... #SoftwareTesting #SoftwareDevelopment

Every time I hit one of these article pages, which is several times per day, a #UX designer screams in pain. 🤦‍♂️ #Testing should be providing feedback on this kind of thing. #UI #SoftwareDevelopment #SoftwareTesting

That's helpful to know.

Where are you on your #testing with #AI and #automation path? All in? Cautiously optimistic? A pox on thee? Keeping an eye on things? Here are some of my thoughts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7PU...

This morning, I had a great conversation with Greg Paskal's Rwanda-based #Automation team. We chatted about automation, #QA/#QE, and, of course, #AI. Thanks for having me, Greg and team!

Generally, #AI is more opaque than "traditional" #automation for #testing. Do you trust that your automation is doing your job appropriately? Would you trust it less if the implementation were more opaque? What is your #risk tolerance? www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7PU...

And here it is! The long(?) promised "webcast" between GlobalNow IT's Bob Foster and me! It only took us 4-5 attempts due to various A/V failures. It's only about 12 mins long, so give it a listen to hear a few thoughts on #Automation, #QA, #QE, and some #AI. www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7PU...

I had a great lunch and an even better webcast with Bob Foster from GlobalNow IT. We discussed #AI and #Automation regarding testing. It'll be published soon. We kept returning to Ben Fellow's post. You should give it a read, including the comments. www.linkedin.com/posts/ben-f-...

A true genius.

I just got my calendar reminder to do my timesheet 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Reposting for all of my beginning-of-the-week people! In the meantime, I plan to create more #blog content; you can find it here: responsibleautomation.wordpress.com

This might suck. I don't even know why they have that stuff here that's not what my appointments for
