Noelle Dass is one of my favorite artists. I used to seek her work every time I went to the art shows in Oregon. Apparently not arty enough for the artists.

I've published playwright-live-recorder, it's still a work in progress. But all the info is there to start using it yourself. I welcome feedback. github.com/dnv-opensource/pl… @playwrightweb

My buddy @michaeljgoeke has been hard at work on a playwright recorder. This is cool stuff! I'm sure he'd love feedback!
Playwright-live-recorder Next: tool authoring of page object models. In the spirit of “Don’t make me restart my test!” — Sure we can create and append to page object model files, but how do we execute code that didn’t exist when the test started, in the test execution scope? 1/n

Check out this thread from my friend and former co-worker. He would love some feedback on his work! I'm so stoked about the energy he's bringing to testing as a developer. Give @michaeljgoeke a follow for encouragement!
Recently I've been programming, helping the test team transition to a new Automated Testing framework. We're moving from Cypress to Playwright. Right away there are a lot of things I like! But out biggest pain points weren't fixed. I created an amazing lib @playwrightweb
Hive mind input required. I'm reading "Measure What Matters" and filling my brain with OKR thoughts. One of which is a pondering about the level of Survivorship Bias in the stories chosen for the book. So, who has stories of implementing OKRs without John Doerr consulting, or..

Some personal news: I'm currently looking for a new position! I like Python and test automation and people.

So tell us, which other communities do you recommend software testers embed themselves in? 😀

This is the thread I've been waiting for! Lately threads of short lessons have been one of my favorite sources of learning, and this fits the bill.
A short thread of lessons I've learned from scaling software engineering orgs in the last few years:

You want to know where that frustration comes from? Good testers are system thinkers. And many bugs are not fixed just in code. The root cause lies in processes, org structures, so basically communication not happening. Good testers want to fix that! #ThereAreNoClosedSystems

I've got some ideas out of my head about this conference, lineup and pay-to-speak business. Feedback and opinions are welcome!!! Especially from folks that have organised lots of these things 🙏🏾 As always, there's a link to the blog post itself in the thread below 👇🏾

I’m happy to announce that the Call For Papers for #EuroSTARConf 2023 is now open. We all have a story to tell, why not share yours in Antwerp next June? The theme is ‘Software Development is a Social Activity’. See more: bit.ly/3bw8HjT
I’ve had the honour of interviewing some of the leading experts in the software testing field. Here are some highlights. 💡 🧵

Another great blog post by @ezagroba. IME diagrams of multiple integrated systems (or of any complicated problem) always prompt more questions than answers—the principal reason they’re so valuable. If you’re a tester who doesn’t show problems visually, read Elizabeth & learn how!
