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.

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.


I've found 17 out of 18 checks on this first testing challenge. Frustratedly trying to find the last one! testingchallenges.thetestingmap.org/index.php

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.
