Occasionally we all experience those instances when a bug pops out unexpectedly, leaving us in one of three states: head-scratching confusion, uncontrollable laughter, or desperate panic. It might be some bizarre fringe case or something so glaringly simple that it’s astonishing it ever existed.

Listened to a fabulous discussion on This Week in Testing | Ministry of Testing where @nat @lhughes @preetig @eamond15 and @simon_tomes shared their experiences on attending conferences and tips for testbash. It’ll be my first time attending TestBash and I’m sure I won’t be the only one in that position. So for those who have been before and the regular attendees, what would be your tips for the newbees like me to get the best out of our experience? What should we be prepared for?| The Club: Software Testing & Quality Engineering Community Forum | Ministry o...
Hello 👋 , I just caught up on the brilliant Leading with Quality episode with Jenny Bramble: The quality revival. I found it interesting what @jennydoesthings said about changes in the last 5 years or so, including a remote-first switch up with many companies and although this is a more inclusive approach to working, how that has affected quality and collaborative working. What I liked was was how she coined the change as going from an ‘opt-out culture to an opt-in culture’. She ...| The Club: Software Testing & Quality Engineering Community Forum | Ministry o...

Read my MoT article, “When hiring software testers doesn’t work (and what to do BEFORE you hire them).” It explores an inconvenient truth: sometimes folks who say “hiring software testers causes more harm than good” are actually onto something. This isn’t because quality work doesn’t matter (it does!) but because teams often hire software testers without knowing what they actually need. They chase test automation fixes for deeper organizational problems. Or they expect quick win...| The Club: Software Testing & Quality Engineering Community Forum | Ministry o...

What is the best way to document API test scenarios or test cases. In my experience, I have used Postman and Paw(Rapid API) for testing end points and have saved them as a collection. Whenever there is a change, open the collection and test it. However, testing an API is playing around with a combination of key- value pairs sent as part of Request and validating the response we get. I am unsure how to document what we have tested and how to document what all are automated. We have so many tes...| The Club: Software Testing & Quality Engineering Community Forum | Ministry o...
Manual QA testers often start with no-code tools because coding takes time to learn. But these tools usually lock you in with no clean way to export tests or scale as projects grow. I’m early in exploring a hybrid tool that lets you create, edit, and run test suites in no-code or code, and generate an exportable Playwright project that’s easy to understand and extend with code when needed. Just curious if this sounds like a common headache or if it’s just mine. Would love to hear what o...| The Club: Software Testing & Quality Engineering Community Forum | Ministry o...

Hey guys. This is one of my favorite topics in the testing area nowadays. I recently read one article from Gergely Orosz about How Big Tech does Quality Assurance and many reflections came to my mind. I have seen more and more companies going for an approach where the dev teams take the QA role. It is important to highlight the word “role”, since even though there is no QA professional inside the team, the process and activities to guarantee the quality are not neglected. The whole dev te...| The Club: Software Testing & Quality Engineering Community Forum | Ministry o...
When I talk about tools with testers, I most often hear about UI or API automation tools. However, testing includes a very rich set of activities where innovation and efficiency can be brought. What types of tools do you use to boost your testing activities? Here are some examples that I will give to set some context: Exploratory Testing (Test Data): Bug Magnet, Counterstring, Fake Filler UI UX Testing: Measure It, What font?, ColorPick Eyedropper, UX Check, Resolution Test Scripting (Prepa...| The Club: Software Testing & Quality Engineering Community Forum | Ministry o...

Testing applications developed with AI coding tools is a unique experience—equal parts fascinating and frustrating. While these tools speed up code generation, the code they produce often lacks scalability, context integration, and overall quality. This makes the role of testers and quality engineers more critical than ever. In my post, “Testing AI-coded applications: practical tips for software testers”, I share real-world experiences from testing projects that relied on AI-generated c...| The Club: Software Testing & Quality Engineering Community Forum | Ministry o...
