6/ The takeaway? Balance is key. Use automation for predictable knowns and exploratory testing to illuminate the unknowns. Together, they give you the feedback needed to manage uncertainty and build quality software. ⚖️ #AgileTesting #TechLeadership

5/ So, can you automate all testing? Not entirely. It depends on: 🔹 The system's complexity. 🔹 Where your uncertainties lie. 🔹 How much human insight is needed to uncover risks. 🧠 #SoftwareEngineering #QAOps

4/ Exploratory testing = the secret weapon. It’s the best way to navigate unknowns—uncovering risks automation can't see. But it’s time-intensive, requires skill, and isn’t easily repeatable. That’s why it complements automation, not replaces it. 🛠️ #TestingLife #Leadership

3/ Perfect systems don’t exist. If you controlled _everything_ about a system and its environment, you could automate all testing. But real-world systems are messy, interconnected, and unpredictable. There’s always uncertainty to manage. 🌍 #DevOps #QualityEngineering

2/ Testing = Feedback. Good testing lowers uncertainty about a system's behaviour. It explores risks in knowns, known-unknowns, and even unknown-unknowns—the surprises we didn’t see coming. Automation? Great for knowns. Not so much for the rest. 🔍 #QA #Tech

1/ Can we automate all testing? 🧪🤖 Automation is often seen as the answer to slow, tedious manual testing. But testing isn’t just "pass" or "fail"—it's about reducing uncertainty and understanding system behaviour. Here's why #automation alone isn’t enough. 🧵👇 #testing

“ If teams do start building out automated UI tests, then they risk introducing some unintended behaviours in their teams.” - @JitGo https://t.co/EPksO96kpg

Being on that stage was one of the best experiences I’ve had in my speaking life! So good

Such a good explanation of our physical response to stress from @JitGo at #LeadDevLondon Ive tried to explain this in relation to burnout in the past, I aspire to be as clear as this, really well done! 👏

It’s a good day when @Geek_Manager is live tweeting you talk 😃 - thanks for sharing Meri 🙌

Jitesh @JitGo at #LeadDevLondon now talking us through some interesting stories of change like Netflix offering themselves to Blockbuster as an acquisition target back in the day, Nokia selling themselves to Microsoft after losing market share, and others.

@JitGo “Change doesn’t come out of nowhere We need to develop: • Humility: we don’t have all the answers • Curiosity: always more to learn (understand & work through complex vs complicated eg Cynefin) • Empathy: we need to support each other” @JitGo #LeadDevLondon

I’m going to be having some Elefun this Saturday night 😂

The awesome @JitGo talking about Psychological Safety in the workplace. #PeersCon24
