A few of you know that I have been working on a very powerful tool for software testing. Bad news first: It is only for Windows and web services, it is self-signed, and it requires LLM credits for full effect.Good news: It is free, it empowers testers to test faster and better, and it contains […]
We will be flooded with AI agents that can do software testing. I have seen examples of test reports that look impressive, but it is hard to tell if the testing was really good.So I created a very simple web application to make “quick” (not bullet proof) testing of their capabilities. The tool is built […]
There has not been a lot written from us on the blog lately; a lot of other things to do, and blogging isn’t the hottest thing nowadays, to say the least. Perhaps we also already have written what we feel is most important, and thereby not addressing what is important to other testers. We therefore […]
There are lots of people that share material they have created, and make them publically available for anyone.Everything is of course not good, but a lot is, and this helps our community to grow, people can build upon each others work, and our combined knowledge increases.I think most testers do this because they have something […]
At EuroSTAR 2019 I was co-speaking with Henrik Emilsson on a half-day tutorial on using quality characteristics.My favorite parts of these intense events are the questions when you don’t know what will happen.In one of these I ended my answer with “if testing is easy, you’re doing something wrong”.I remember how happy I was with […]
After some years on different workplaces Henrik, Martin and Rikard have now joined forces at Nordic Medtest, a non-profit company working with digital infrastructure in Swedish healthcare. We have a lot of important work to do, so there are no guarantees for more frequent updates on this blog, but the chances are at least bigger. […]
I believe one of the most important traits of testers is that we bring new perspectives, new ideas about what is relevant. I probably believe this from my experiences from the first development team I joined, so I will tell you about the future by telling an old story. This was in Gothenburg, 15 years […]
Background In 2011-2012 a friend, Steve Öberg, started a local community with a few test friends. We talked about testing, sharing experiences and discussing/arguing about various test topics. It was a great initiative, but I wanted something more and bigger. I had a discussion with Emily Bache, who run a local meetup on programming. She […]
In early 2013 I held a 7 week course on setting up a testing organisation that works well in an agile context. My intent was to explain my own approach and model of how testing is conducted, I wanted the students to see that they needed to create their own. For each part of the course […]
For the first 10 years of my testing career I wrote lousy test strategies. I believe the actual test strategies, what we tested and how, were adequate, but the way it was communicated, as part of test plans, was not good. As many strategies, they more or less just stated different functionalities, and that they […]
