I am often asked why do I do what I do beyond my full-time job. I could simply say it’s my passion for software testing but I personally don’t find that answer satisfying enough. It’s hard to explain what exactly we get by doing certain things when we do it out of pure joy and satisfaction of simply doing it. But if I am to closely look at my journey with Association for Software Testing, I bel...

​I recently stumbled upon an interesting article written by Alan Page where he has discussed some interesting ideas around the mindset,  tester’s role, and how different software development teams approach testing. If you have not read his article yet, then I encourage you to read it first. First things first In principle, I agree with most of the points that Alan has made. I believe that reg...

Considering my experience and what I have been observing in the industry, there seems to be an increasing interest in the idea of Whole Team Quality. The idea itself is not new as far as I know but certainly, there seems to be more awareness and eagerness towards its implementation, lately.  Why is it needed and how does it help?  Well, if you are delivering a product as a team, it is natural...

I have been talking about Whole Team Quality via Whole Team Testing for a couple of years now. During my workshops, I am often asked if testing can only be extended for programmers in a team. Pretty interesting question it is and my answer is obviously “no”. Though I usually explain in my workshops on how to extend testing to roles beyond programmers in a team i.e. for UX or PO roles, I realize...

The more I think about events and people around me, the more I have started to believe in higher calling and celestial hints. I have been wanting to write about Jerry and as I started to pen my heart down finally, I learned that it’s Jerry’s birthday today. Could that be a coincidence? Happy birthday Jerry! This time, accept it with tears in my eyes and lots of gratitude. 2018 has been a year...
