Huge thanks to everyone: #AgileTD participants, speakers, volunteers, and especially the lovely organizers - you make this unique event happen for all of us, I'm deeply grateful for this space. See you in 2026! 🦄 2/2

Had a blast teaching Playwright on Monday! Now gearing up for Thursday's mission: CSI: Flaky Tests. We're investigating the crime scene of unstable automation to uncover the root cause: flawed assumptions about system state. Come ready to solve the case! #AgileTD #SoftwareTesting

Leaving @agiletdzone.bsky.social. Always love to visit Potsdam so I went for a very quick quick walk before departure. I love the event and every year I make some new friends. Also good to revisit the old ones, sometimes it is hard to find the time to be with everybody :) see you soon ;) #agiletd

@gilzilberfeld.bsky.social is killing it: "The application might be completely broken inside - like some of us." 😂😂😂 #agileTD 🦄

1st prize on the #bug bash on the #AI hackathon at @agiletdzone.bsky.social ! Cecilie Haugstvedt Risko Ruus Hiroshi Maekawa and Jens Hoeft #AgileTD #testing #softwaretesting

That's it! 🎉 Another edition of my workshop "Secure Development Lifecycle Applied - How to Make Things a Bit More Secure than Yesterday Every Day" done, this time together with Santhosh Tuppad as a special bonus. 🦄 Loved seeing the #AgileTD crowd enjoy practicing security from idea to production. 🤩

Probably the most awaited talk I want to attend this year at @agiletdzone.bsky.social :) @profesordragan.bsky.social #agileTD #testing #ai #agenticai

Exploring security of the „Damn Vulnerable RESTaurant“ was interesting, surprising and fun! We had a great time at the @agiletdzone.bsky.social in the hands-on-workshop „Secure Development Lifecycle Applied“ by @lisihocke.bsky.social and Santhosh Tuppad! Thank you very much! 🦄🦄🦄 #AgileTD

Documentation is often hard to find, outdated, misleading, badly written, or simply doesn’t exist… 😒📖 I just finished my #AgileTD talk on how to manage your team’s documentation to end up in a better place. I’m really happy how the talk turned out and grateful for the very good questions.

Good news: Agile Testing Days 2026 (@agilemanc.bsky.social) starts in 355 days ➙ days-until-agiletd.herokuapp.com #agileTD

„Testing Transparency“ - Elizabeth Zagroba and @workroomprds.com exploring a crossword generator app - a great talk with a lot of fun at the Agile Testing Days 2025! 👍🦄 #AgileTD @agiletdzone.bsky.social

Since I'm at @agiletdzone.bsky.social , feel free to connect and reach out on case you have questions, feedback on @xrayapp.bsky.social or just want to talk on general about testing and how to improve #quality :) #AgileTD #testing #softwaretesting

Good morning! 🌞 ☕️ I'm as excited like a little kid! 🦄 #agileTD

On my way to #AgileTD for the final conference and community celebration of the year. 🤩 Can't wait to meet folks and learn together. Especially looking forward to our security testing deep dive track! 🛡️ 1/2

It's title: 'Unicorn: The Mythical Beast in Art' The perfect match for the #agileTD 🦄🌈

It says it all

Since it just received another small update: days-until-agiletd.herokuapp.com ➙ OMG it's only 10 (ten!) days to go. If you go there: What are your plans? #agileTD

The Testing Experience is out! Thanks to Tariq King, Irina Gorkunova, Toyer Mamoojee, Thomas Steirer, Rahul Verma, Advait Avinash Sowale, Vero Betzel, Lisa Crispin, Anne-Marie Charrett, Sara Martínez Giner, Tobias Wettstein and Olexandr Andriyenko for the great articles. testingexperience.media

I'm brainstorming with the help of Claude on things to discuss with workshop participants, what questions to ask. Interestingly, it doesn't headline them "Questions", "Points to discuss" or the like, but "Prompts". Is it assuming my participants will be LLMs? 🤔

A great day out! Today we were really happy surfing in Caswell/South Wales! In the late afternoon it got a bit crowded - but all surfers were friendly and seemed to enjoy the waves in the golden evening sun! 🏄‍♂️🌊🤙😀 #surfing #wales #stunning-landscape

Random thought: Lots of people have different understanding of the same terms. Working in a team, we sooner or later (hopefully) come to common understanding of the terminology used. In a conference talk, explaining what you mean by certain terms is crucial so the audience understands your message!

The best—and most fun to do—interviews are conversations. Keith Klain interviewed me yesterday for his Quality Remarks podcast qualityremarks.com/qr-podcast-f...

In 2025, I've had a steep increase in reports from clients about AI voice clone phone calls asking for money, passwords or codes. I give it about 12 months before criminals increase use of live video call deepfakes in their scams. Get your folks & team prepared to catch it now.

Locutus efficiency tip: We all need to regenerate.

www.thestack.technology/jeep-softwar... I’ve seen several posts recently about a general decline in sw quality. True? I dunno. I do know from decades of experience why big bang software releases are a really lousy idea. (Also I’m happy to have an 11-yr-old car that never gets sw updates.)

Look what my dad bought me 🤩 The 50th anniversary edition of #Yps – the magazine that sparked my curiosity over 40 years ago 🚀🤖👾

I 💜 seeing software folks use the word "holistic" in a lot of contexts. Delivering quality new stuff to customers frequently, confidently, sustainably takes the whole team working together around the whole SDLC. Our Holistic Testing Model helps craft a good strategy. agiletester.ca/holistic-tes...

This was such a blast. Had a wonderful #OpenSpace day at #osco25. So many awesome people in one place, all interested in #cybersecurity & learning together. ✨ Joined great knowledge exchange sessions on spreading cybersecurity awareness, the Fediverse, security champions struggles & wins. 💡 1/3

Die anlasslose Chatkontrolle ist mit dem Telekommunikationsgeheimnis wie es das GG vorsieht, unvereinbar. Das ist ein Schritt in Richtung des totalitären Staates. netzpolitik.org/2025/fragen-...

Chat Control would make it mandatory for service providers to scan all communications & files. There’s no system that’s only for the “good guys” www.eff.org/deeplinks/20... #chatkontrolle

Countless hours went into this to make it happen and lay foundations for a great experience for everyone - wish us good luck things will indeed turn out well. 🍀 Can't wait to see folks and learn together! 😍 2/2

Finally, it's happening! 🎉 I'm on my way to #osco, the Open Security Conference. With #osco25 we're having the second edition of this #OpenSpace event for everyone interested in #Cybersecurity. 1/2

TIL that if you put `-ai` after a Google or DuckDuckGo search (maybe others, I only tried those two), you will not get the AI assistant-generated content at the top. Content which always looks plausible, but is often dead wrong. Example: continuous delivery obstacles -ai Try it!

Lectures, music, art, punk: Join us at the 39th Chaos Communication Congress and please submit! The deadline for all submissions for the stages is October 24. #39C3 will take place from December 27 to 30 www.ccc.de/en/updates/2...

I ran an exploratory ensemble testing session on one of our products yesterday. The ensemble consisted mainly of the developers working on that product. It was amazing and worrying to see how some of them didn't know the most basic functionalities the product offers - stuff our users use daily 😬

Picard management tip: Even without game-changing results, experimentation is time well spent.

Ah yes—a “glitch”. Such an innocuous-sounding word for a software bug that shut down engines.

Just heard “You grow into the person that would have saved you as a kid” Felt hard. I do a lot for others that are the things I wish someone had done for me as a kid.

People still say QA is the gatekeeper. But gatekeepers stop things. If you’re asking smart questions early surfacing risk before it becomes rework and helping your team steer you’re not gatekeeping you’re guiding
