Everything started with two exceptional persons. I have been following Zeger Van Hese (check out his twitter and blog) for some time now. Needless to say - during his talk at Testing Cup 2016 he gave me some inspirations for my first talk ever. I was aware of his art of sketchnoting - his pieces of art …
Quo vadis, Testing World?
Today is the good day as any to think about the future of testing. Some testers, when asked about the future, think about the progress in test target - IoT, VR, bots, spaceships or maybe AI. I have a much simpler concern: what should I have on my CV and in my head to remain relevant …
Belgrade Test Conference 2017
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
Testing Cup has a special place in my heart. It was my first paid conference (and I paid for it with my own money!). My first championships ever. My inspiration. 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). …
