I went to Test Bash for the first time last year, and I kinda came at it from a different direction in terms of asking for permissions from the company. The way that I put it to them was that I was interested in some of your certificates, and I sort sort of priced those up and brought it to the company and said if I was to do these two certifications, I could get an unlimited membership, and then I could also have the conference. So the conference was nearly like an afterthought. I was primarily interested in the training, and I didn't know what to expect going into the conference, but it was just so much better than I could have ever imagined.

You know, meeting all these people that are so passionate about what they do, it just really sort of reignited my passion in this is the career for me. This is the community for me. And the things that I've learned and the people I met and the resources that those people have shared have helped me in my own job, and I'm involved with some learning and development and work. And being able to bring that all back to the company, it was fantastic.

Just Say... No more

As a QA learning to say No is very important skill while proving not being a blocker-try to be polite, confident enough to say why you are saying No with reasons and example no to last minute changes in sprint, Say no more when the QA time is used for development in previous sprints, when the sign off release, when goals are set too high to be achieved, when others start questioning your estimation, Saying No more to 100% automation when the product is in the early phase when requirement is not clear and stable

at least the error page loads faster than the app! 🤣

As a tester, I’ve heard it all — but the classic “just 20 more minutes” from devs hits different.

Fast forward 8 hours later:
I’m still refreshing the page,
Staring at the same 503 error like it’s part of my test data set,
Hoping something… anything… will load.

Deployments? Broken.
Sanity? Questionable.
Hope? Rapidly declining.

But hey — at least the error page loads faster than the app! 🤣

A "tester walks into a bar" meme shows three people smiling. The person on the left, wearing a black cap and an orange-brown jacket, has a beard and glasses, and is giving a thumbs-up. They are holding a small red box of Tic Tacs, and in front of them is a larger box of Tic Tacs. The two people to their right are partially visible, also smiling. The meme's text reads: "A TESTER WALKS INTO A BAR ORDERS A ROUND AND ENJOYS A DRINK WITH FRIENDS NOTHING BLOWS UP AND THE HAPPY PATH IS TESTED".

Classic words from Ben Dowen during an episode of This Week in Testing.

When you're handing over to the day shift after surviving a production deployment, a flaky automation suite, and 3 “urgent” Slack pings from PMs at 2AM.

“The night is dark and full of 500 errors.”

Respect to all the night owls keeping systems alive ✊💻🌒

What I saw last night will haunt your Jenkins logs forever. May your coffee be strong and your endpoints be stable.
