I die a little inside everytime I hear someone say "I do automation, I don't do manual testing"

Your team cannot create valuable automated tests/checks without exploratory testing. You need to explore a system, to understand it enough to create valuable automation. Automation that is truly going to help the team make decisions. And not just generate noise/distraction.

I'm working on a testing mythbusters talk. What are your testing myths (that can be true or untrue)?

This is Jordan Neely. On Monday, he was lynched. On the NYC subway he started telling passengers that he was fed up being hungry, thirsty and having no place to rest. He began to shout in his frustration, and threw his jacket on the floor. An ex-marine then murdered him.🧵

Most of what we call "Quality Assurance" is actually "Quantity Assurance". Quantity of test cases, quantity of bugs raised, quantity of bugs fixed... Quality isn't measurable. But Quantity is. If you're counting something, you're counting a quantity.

This story has been a while coming and I'm pretty excited to see it in print. Late last year, the editor of The Listener asked me if I could write a feature about adult ADHD diagnoses. I jumped at it, not least because it's something I've thought about for a *long* time.

Asked for examples of sexual harassment at law schools, ChatGPT named a GW prof accused of touching a student on a class trip to Alaska, citing a WashPost story. The prof is real. The rest was made up. We wrote about what happens when AIs lie about you: washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

How would you write "I did grocery shopping" on a resume? “Managed the timely and cost-effective purchase of core operational supplies of a dynamic and agile team and ensured that all stakeholders had the required nutritional inputs to operate functionally.”
