@sigist.bsky.social 2025 Conference provided attendees with an opportunity to learn from great speakers & network with other testing professionals. I am really pleased that BCS ITNow Magazine has a three-page article about the conference.🧵

It is great to receive my Author Debut badge from @ministryoftesting.com for my article: www.ministryoftesting.com/articles/shi...

My @ministryoftesting.com article “Shifting software testing left with operational definitions” shows how operational definitions can help testers a way to shift testing upstream. www.ministryoftesting.com/articles/shi...

If you’ve ever helped an older neighbour navigate an app, call a helpline or read a tiny screen – you’ve witnessed digital exclusion first-hand. We must stop designing systems that exclude. Kate Moore reports

The video of my talk for BrowserStack about "How process behaviour charts empower testers" is now available: www.browserstack.com/webinars/tes... #Shewhart #Deming #SoftwareTesting

I guess you've heard some bad jokes about Fibonacci sequences? Well, this one is as bad as the last two you heard put together.

At the Profound Book Club, I was referred to this great video from Eli Goldratt, Thinking Globally: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jU2i...

I am excited to be giving a webinar for BrowserStack about "How Process Behaviour Charts Empower Testers" on the 26th June 2pm UK time. Process Behaviour Charts show failures as being caused by the system, not the individual. www.browserstack.com/webinars/tes...

I used checklists to help organise the #SIGIST25 conference, for example I had a checklist of what was required one week before the conference. I learned a great deal about checklists from Atul Gawande's book The Checklist Manifesto: testandanalysis.home.blog/2024/02/06/a...

When I was writing Proof, my editor suggested a section on measurement could use a tangible example, like pointing out detailed imperial data isn't useful if you need metric. I soon realised this isn't just a hypothetical scenario. I'd like to tell you a story about a $125m measurement error... 🧵
