How NASA writes safety-critical software - 10 Rules. spinroot.com/gerard/pdf/P... It's Quite fascinating to read.

I just finished the slides on schools of software testing for an upcoming online conference in March. I hope it will benefit attendees to see the testing world from different angles throughout the time.

Today I learned: Quick link to show all pull requests that you have been assigned as a reviewer (in all repositories) - github.com/pulls/review...

#blockchain #testing I am collecting resources on blockchain testing. Today, I've added materials on blockchain performance and reworked the overall content structure. If you are interested in testing blockchains and blockchain-based Web3 apps - check this resource - github.com/alexromanov/...

🛝 Making your slides better #speaking I give talks at conferences or webinars from time to time and share my knowledge at work. So I need to make slides. 🪚 Google Slides is the default option for a quick slide deck. It's fast and has enough functionality for me. 👇

When you start your career in testing - it can be hard to understand where to grow. So I wanted to share my thoughts on career opportunities available for QA engineers at Ministry of Testing and I wrote an article. 👉 www.ministryoftesting.com/articles/sof...

Just wanted to share my small blog post series on Blockchain for Testers. testengineeringnotes.com/posts/2022-0...

#python #interview Fibonacci sequence is a popular interview question to check your coding skills. But how to solve this task? testengineeringnotes.com/posts/2024-0...

#howitworks #testing #security Testers are not needed! Why bother quality and security? As a result, we can get situation, like ... opening KIA cars remotely with a sequence of HTTP POST requests. samcurry.net/hacking-kia (Stealing user's personal data as well)

The new episode of the Testing Minutes podcast is already here. This time, I and @durshlag.com talked with @lisacrispin.bsky.social about holistic testing youtu.be/0BE9s6avA3Y?...

I am researching software quality metrics and how they affect project delivery. So, I am kindly asking you to fill out this anonymous survey. forms.gle/HvSoXfJeW5hX... Do not hesitate to fill it out even if you are not a tester but a lead, manager, or developer. Thanks!

As you may know, @durshlag.com and I record a podcast about testing - "Testing Minutes". It's mostly in Ukrainian, but last week we had a wonderful conversation about building communities with @simontomes.com youtu.be/ElvQbeJbi2g?...

How many software testers does it take to change a light bulb? None, they report it's dark, they don't fix the problems.

Why are we testing? testengineeringnotes.com/posts/2024-0...

Another point for Obsidian. I am using it every day for notes and much more. I got used to Markdown for my note-taking. So now, it is much easier to add new posts to my blog - because it also uses Markdown.

Learning Obsidian: - added recurring tasks widget as a part of a template for daily notes (Tasks + dataview plugins) - widget shows only recurring tasks without reminders (
