⭐ Useful examples, clear explanations and pragmatic approaches to challenges you may when introducing Contract Testing. ⭐ That's what Marie Cruz and Lewis Prescott's Contract Testing in Action book is full of. Check out the review below 👇 👇 👇 nicolalindgren.com/book-review-...

Wrote most of a blog post almost a year ago then forgot about it. 😅 Finally published it. nicolalindgren.com/how-to-get-d...

What I learned at Öredev: Day 2: - navigating Complex software systems @jitgos.bsky.social - dark patterns - visualising test coverage & quality criteria @martin-n.bsky.social - CTO guide to presenting at the board Day 3: - live exploratory testing - access points in testing - test ops 👇 👇👇

Wrote what I learned in my 1st day at @oredev.org I attended sessions on: - Synthetic Monitoring - What testers are afraid to say - Collective Risk Management And More. nicolalindgren.com/oredev-confe... cc @jrosaproenca.bsky.social @testerfromleic.bsky.social @joshuakerievsky.bsky.social

I liked how @martin-n.bsky.social encourages his team to use Quality Criteria to categorises bugs and test cases. Useful for teams to see what types of risks are being addressed (and in turn what are not covered). @oredev.org

Also highly recommend you check out @jitgos.bsky.social ’s newsletter if you care about building high quality software. qualityeng.substack.com

Really enjoyed listening to @jitgos.bsky.social talk about managing uncertainty in complex systems - and how to handle this. @oredev.org

Heaps of gems in Katrina’s talk from Tester to CTO. @oredev.org If you missed it, it’s your loss. Sorry, I mean you can also check put her next session when she talks about presenting to boards.

Need to talk to my husband about what I learned at @jrosaproenca.bsky.social ’s talk, as I think he would be find this super interesting. Not as much relevant for me in my current role but taking notes so I can try tell him as much as possible. @oredev.org

I feel the same way about flaky tests. @jrosaproenca.bsky.social giving a great talk at @oredev.org

@testerfromleic.bsky.social kicking ass at his talk at @oredev.org today 💪

Excited about 3 days of learning at @oredev.org Few sessions in, so far so good! @joshuakerievsky.bsky.social

Had to share this because I’m very proud of myself. First time working with fondant and it ain’t looking too shabby. Let’s see how it goes down tomorrow!

You go a conference and your manager asks you what did you pick up from there. Please note that ‘I need to read the slides’ is not a great response. They usually want to know if anything was good enough to catch attention to remember. Being happy you got out, go where contents are interesting.

Hey automation friends! I've made a brand new Selenium WebDriver for Java course. And it's free for you with the link below. Enjoy ❤️ bit.ly/4fRo9U5

Have you ever thought about HOW you finish/end a mentorship? This topic isn’t talked about much, let’s be honest. Check out this podcast episode by Nicola Louise Martin. open.spotify.com/episode/6Llr...

This news article brought a smile to my face. What a wonderful way to celebrate his wife’s 40th birthday 🥰 www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/3...

I see a lot of new people following me and I'm happy to have all of you. Looking at your profiles I worry that you're not using this platform to your full advantage. I understand the desire to connect with people you know, with folks from your industry & community. But you can get more out of it 🧵1

I read Mark Winteringham 's latest book 'Software Testing with Generative AI' and all in all, I'm glad I did. For the longer version of my book review, check out my blog post below. nicolalindgren.com/book-review-...

I've just bought The Software Tester’s Journey by @nicolalindgren.bsky.social and @testerfromleic.bsky.social leanpub.com/testersjourney

Have had the honour of interviewing dozens of expert testers on my blog. Here are 10 tips they have shared with me in the past. nicolalindgren.com/expert-testi...

Does anyone have experience implementing Agentic AI in their workplace for testing purposes? By any chance, have you written a blog post on this?

I know I’m missing people, but it seems many more people still need to move to this platform. Tell me, who do I need to add? go.bsky.app/GukYDZP

Been sprucing up my blog a wee bit: ✅ Sticky nav bar ✅ Highlight active tab ✅ Make category labels into buttons ✅ Category buttons on the top on desktop and on the bottom on mobile Still a fair bit to go, but we're getting there.

Who am I missing? Let me know! go.bsky.app/Fvn6U7g

🎉 I'm excited to share you can now buy The Software Tester's Journey on Amazon! 🎉 cc @testerfromleic.bsky.social Here's the link to the UK market: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/9152742490

Does anyone know how to highlight an active tab in CSS? (I want readers on my blog to know which tab they are currently on easily) I've been trying to google this to no avail. My blog is built with Hugo. Below you can see what I have tried so far. (Later, I will try and make my nav bar sticky)

One thing I really like about writing book reviews is that it combines two loves: - reading - writing I also hope to review the following books in the next few months: - Software Testing with Generative AI - Team’s Guide to Testability - Would Heu-Risk It?

Should you buy Lisa Crispin's and Janet Gregory's new book Holistic Testing: Weave Quality Into Your Product? I think you should look into it. Read my review to find out why. 👇👇👇 nicolalindgren.com/book-review-...

Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers. #1 (though let's see how far I get) #BookSky

I’m slow to the 🦋 party but by golly is it nice to see familiar people in my home feed again 🤓

I’ll admit I’ve been guilty of the former 🤭

Got a bunch of meme ideas swirling in my head. Watch this space 😅

Quality Coach Newsletter is now out. Shout out to @lisacrispin.bsky.social @janetgregoryca.bsky.social @parveenkhan.bsky.social Isabel Evans, Seb Rose, Gaspar Nagy, @emilybache.com and @nicolalindgren.bsky.social

"We often think about quality as costing something - extra processes, extra work. But a lack of quality may be far more expensive if we don’t consider both tangible and intangible costs. There is loss of opportunity, or erosion of trust and reputation." - @lisacrispin.bsky.social and Janet Gregory

I have to say, this book has been fairly helpful in getting me to understand the election results and how there are different ways to view morals. It’s brought up a few fruitful discussions at home. 🤓

The key differences in traditional software and ML software, that causes challenges for quality. Slides from Serg Masis
