Test Dive 2017
Never heard about this testing conference? Probably because this is a brand new event hosted by Nokia in Kraków, Poland.

Almost immediately Patryk Hemperek, Bartłomiej Bugajny and Robert Kalina answered and decided to participate in this …
Happy tester life
You shouldn't take life to seriously. You'll never get out alive. Van Wilder I agree with this sentence in 100%. This is why I don't take my life or work to seriously. Of course my job is important, there are some rules and tasks required to maintain the quality of the code - but no one said …
