Bugs are not missed! Bugs were there & will be. Just, someone else experienced it while I did not. And, this is not a slip or escape of bug to the production. It is: Why I did not experience it? Why my teams did not experience it? How to experience it? I have to work here!

In my last 15+ years of software testing career, & now, I continue to witness, "Fear and anxiety is made use to sell one's product or impose a thought, on a test engineer and testing community." This will continue. How I manage myself in this happenings, defines career peace.

Every test & any test that you pick will be & should be a tradeoff which you must know why this now & not the other. If not, that test might not serve. The tradeoffs you do will be having high impact and information driven. The same holds for tradeoffs in automation projects.

Anytime you say or claim, I wrote a brilliant automation project or tests, ask yourself and know who will be maintaining it. That response will let you know how useful it is to team, organisation and business. Sometimes, simple stuff serves a long way.

One of the people whom I did not come across until today & listened to her today is, @ashwinilalit. I'm happy that I listened to her in a webinar. She knows what she is talking & will be helpful to one who is working with #BDD, #gherkin, #cucumber & similar collaboration tools.

I wish, the teachers, schools and parents help learn this in school and home. Politics is a subject and problem solving space one has to deal with on day to day basis knowingly or unknowingly. #politics 3/3

The system rewards by politics. Ignoring politics and just working will tune one to not audible and invisible silence - which is harmful to the silent one with silence! 2/n

The system is not quiet, though it appears to be quiet. The system is always loud in its own ways. If one remains quiet in the system, one does not get rewarded, though system relied on such few silently. 1/n

I ended my practice with a couple of them. I wish they find a few people who can help them. Practice is easy; but it needs discipline and communication within self and others who are in the practice. The discipline and communication to continue & not giving up is the strength.

The people who seeks assistance to better their practice & skills, expects me to follow-up with them each time. I can do it understanding their contexts. But, me asking for the update each time, that indicates a problem in the communication & how serious one is in communication.

Somehow, we did not label 'manual' to Test Design yet. If did so, then TDD also would have got that label.

I learn this consistently and much regressively in recent years. If I follow someone's thought process and sayings, blindly, that is not engineering. If I do so, I will ask myself, what am I doing calling myself as an engineer.

I'm wondering, when will TypeScript be available for Postman tests. But then, I wonder, what differences it makes for the kind of tests being written? Does it make sense if I store payload as a type? That will be bad! This is not a use case at all for having TS in Postman.

We are expected to learn, but, rarely taught to learn. We are expected to test, but rarely taught to identify the tests and design the tests.

One of the value returning activities in Software Test Engineering is, "to automate on the lowest layer the *testability* allows."

If we cannot test for them, we cannot automate them.

"Now, these are covered in automation" This is not a RCA.

Every code can be tested to a degree. But, there is a "testable code" whose value and credits are high! And, this "testable code" helps to test in chunks and parts. This is useful! Testability and Automatability are prominent characteristics of "Testable Code".

When said & marketed as AI is to enable people, why corporate organizations are laying off people, saying restructuring the org to align with "AI first"? The adoption of AI should enable all those who are being laid off. Right? I'm trying to understand the corporate decisions!

Getting started is critical. Continuing the journey and efforts is important to see the self. I'm engineering my speech, now. I assist him and others who stammer. Thereby, I get better in my speech finding the hacks and controlling my brain. #stammering #stutter #engineering
