This month marks my ten year anniversary as a professional #Tester. With this comes a new instalment of #XYearsInTesting: www.cassandrahl.com/blog/10-year... I still feel very lucky to have discovered #SoftwareTesting and hope to continue working and growing in this area for many years to come.

10 Years in Testing: Then and Now - Cassandra HL

Ever get confused about what exactly is meant when people talk about #UnitTests, #IntegrationTests, #RegressionTests, and #SmokeTests? I wrote a little something about them to, hopefully, explain the differences and overlap: www.cassandrahl.com/blog/on-unit... #Quality #Testing #SoftwareTesting

CRAIC SOURCERERS: How to Test Like a Tester - Cassandra HL

Yes, you read that right.  CRAIC SOURCERERS.  As in, “what’s the craic”?  It’s a mnemonic I came up with while trying to think of ways to help people test like a tester – like this tester, at least.  ...

The people we're dealing with right now don't actually want us gone completely. You can't be at the top of a pyramid unless there are people below you. What they want is to reestablish structures that keep us controlled. They want to overtly give themselves all of the advantages.

In my world, “the talk” is what Black parents have w/our kids, about how to survive an encounter w/police who see them as a threat because of our skin color. Latino families have their talk, w/kids even younger, about ICE who see them as criminals: “If we disappear…” Different fear. Same America.

I've found myself very torn lately, and this post has spoken to me. I don't know how to respond to the state of the world right now. What does ethical living even look like anymore? How can one resist without burning (out)? How public should it be? How much is (not) enough? 😓

You do not have to consume every single tiny piece of bad news in order to be a good person. It’s ok to miss things. Traumatizing yourself isn’t the same as activism. Bearing witness to the point that you’re paralyzed with fear and horror and fury isn’t going to help us get through this.

First conference of the year! Spoken before at @seleniumconf.bsky.social but this will be the my first time in person at the event and I'm really excited about it! If you want to join us, you can use my discount code: João-speaker

So many great people I know are writing or have written books. I wish I had the mental capacity / wiring to read them 😓 I've always struggled with books and prefer articles... Even though chapters are like a collection of articles... 🤷🏻‍♀️

Blogged: the paradox of being a decent person I feel that indecent people are growing in number, yet I don’t know what we can do about that without also descending into the realm of indecency. This creates a paradox if you care about being (or being perceived as) a decent person.

Everybody thinks they're a better than average driver, and everybody thinks they are a decent person. I too, would like to think that I'm a decent person. If you think I'm an awful person, you might n...
