Cleaned up and pushed some uncommitted code on the test tools I wrote a few years back. I’m going to modify Wisard to generate #PageObjects, Jester needs a better UI and more #REST #API testing features. If you’re interested: https://t.co/T87VcoMd3n

@ObjectiveTester just yet again demonstrated and reassured us that there's no such thing as "our system is too complex and too complicated for automation". There are ways to build your automation more effective and more efficient but you need to be smart about it. #SIGiST2023

Long lived source branches that go stale are a big problem in software #development, updating the branch with changes made upstream can be difficult - I just managed to #git #rebase a branch without blowing anything up or using --force so now it's ready to be reviewed as a PR 😅

'Dear Evil Tester' by @eviltester dropped through my letterbox yesterday - It's not a typical book on #software #testing, but a very satirical and irreverent look at the field which will definately teach you a few things and put a smile on your face : https://t.co/9vgcS7WOa9

Dear Evil Tester is a funny and motivational book about the attitudes, philosophy and thought processes of Software Testing
