It was 13th of July when I got an email from Katarina Sonjic about Call for papers. I've sent two papers for them - my old topic "Magic of Chaos - how to remain sane in everyday testing" and brand new topic "Tester in charge - Judge, Jury & Executioner". Not only the second topic …

Challenge: Becoming a Judge
I love challenges. They motivate me to give 500% of myself. They keep me constantly excited. I wish one day by taking more and more challenges I will be able to do something impossible or extraordinary. One of the challenges I took was to prepare Keynote speech for beginners in the field of testing. The topic of …
Test Dive 2017
Never heard about this testing conference? Probably because this is a brand new event hosted by Nokia in Kraków, Poland. I had the pleasure to go there with my co-workers as one of 1000 registered testers. This conference was free and hosted by one and only company with the support of few partners. I would …
Romanian Testing Conference 2017
This year I had a pleasure to attend Romanian Testing Conference. I found out about this event via Rob Lambert - 2017 chairman. He was announcing the call for papers and I gave it a shot. Guess what? They invited me! So here I was: my first conference abroad, the first big conference where I was about to …
Quality Excites 2016 & 2017
Another conference with a long story for me. It was May 2013 when I joined the third edition of Quality Excites. I won the ticket in the draw organised by WrotQA. It was, in fact, my first conference ever and I did not like it. Why? First of all, I did not know it yet, …
Testing Cup 2017

Exactly one year ago during Testing Cup 2016, I went for Zeger Van Hese presentation "Testing in the Age of Distraction". I loved it and it …
The Dojo – become testing ninja
Dojo (道場) is a Japanese term which literally means "place of the way". In the Western world, the term dōjō primarily refers to a training place specifically for Japanese martial arts such as aikido, judo, karate, or samurai. Why I bring this up? Because I found this amazing place, created by the Ministry of Testing: …
Testing Cup 2017 challenge
I am really excited about this year's Testing Cup. It will be the fifth edition and, in my opinion, it will be crazy hard. I even have some arguments proving it. All you need is to read and understand the terms and conditions of championship presented on the page (sorry, it is only in Polish). …
Ready? Aim. Fire!
I’m not much of a person making New Year’s resolutions. Mostly, I avoid making them because I assume I won’t be able to fulfil them. Last year was different, though. I decided, for the first time in my life, to set up a goal for my career and follow it. What happened that I changed …
TeamSTAR competition 2016
Idea One beautiful day when I was reading my e-mails I found a message from Daragh Murphy about a TeamSTAR Competition. I wanted to join the fight badly, so I forwarded the message to all testers in my company. Almost immediately Patryk Hemperek, Bartłomiej Bugajny and Robert Kalina answered and decided to participate in this …
