Tuesday Night Testing: Exploratory Testing the website 'SelfCare Backpack' https://www.youtube.com/live/61MOSY0D9hI?feature=share via @YouTube is about to go live!

I'm going to have the stream start 5 minutes early with music playing, to make sure everything is set up.

Time for some #PirateTesting

Just under 2 hours until the next #TuesdayNightTesting live stream, where I test a website live, seeing what I can find, and showing how I go about testing.

I'd love you to join me in the chat, as it makes it much more fun for me.

It can very easy to overthink a technical solution for a simple and analogue approach.

I still need to finish writing and practice it, and hopefully I get a good turnout.

I may figure out a way to have an altered version with no workplace branding, and share it online.

My next #TuesdayNightTesting live stream is going to be on Tuesday 1st August, 8pm BST (UTC+1), where I will be testing the website "JPetstore 6".

Join me as I look for bugs, and show how I would test a website.

See you then!

Just over 12 hours until my next live stream of me testing. I'll show you how I test, the journey my mind and process go through, and try to get some tool use in this time too.

See you then!

Next week's #TuesdayNightTesting is made.

I don't know what site I will test yet, though after the success and last minute decision of the previous stream's website, I am optimistic as to what it will be.

Had my live stream for #TuesdayNightTesting last night, and the energy from it was different, muted.
I think because there wasn't engagement from the chat this time, so I felt more like I was talking to myself.
It won't stop me continuing to stream though!

After the success and energy I got from #TuesdayNightTesting last night, I wanted to maintain the momentum, and get the next one scheduled in.

It is at 8pm BST (UTC+1) on Tuesday 22nd August.

I look forward to seeing you then.

Looking at sites for my next #TuesdayNightTesting, and found https://abstracta.us/blog/software-testing/best-demo-websites-for-practicing-different-types-of-software-tests/, which has lots of options.
Are there any people have used before, or would like to see how I would test it?

Was lovely to see familiar faces on my stream today for #TuesdayNightTesting.

Thank you to friends for popping by, as well as others who did who I may not know.

18 views, with peak of 8 concurrent viewers!

Ahoy to my new followers 👋

I'm not as active these days, but hopefully Bluesky growing will encourage that from me.

I've been in testing 10 years, focusing on exploratory training and knowledge sharing.

Lately I've started learning about screen readers, to advocate accessibility.

Nothing like ending the stream by trying to do so many things to the site, the built in security stops me doing anything!

#PirateTesting in action!

Join me next week, for more #TuesdayNightTesting!

I made a post on LinkedIn, which ended up being nearly 2000 characters, and so wouldn't work well on Twitter...

It's expanding my stream idea, and looking for websites, user stories, and test cases I could review during a live stream.

Would folks be interested?

Due to illness, there will be no #TuesdayNightTesting this week.
Join me next week, where I will be testing @exit23games.bsky.social website, thanks to Christopher Chant (can't find him, if he is here).

Next week it is Learning at Work Week, and I'll be giving an internal workshop on sketch noting.

After plenty of overthinking on how to show concepts and approaches in a remote-only event, I realised why not sketch what I wanted to show and take a picture.

Had an interview today, and they watched back my stream this morning, giving them a great idea of what I'm like as a tester, problems I find, and tools I use.

Woo!

If you prefer to read blogs, I have a blog I used to post on from December 2016 to April 2022.

Some of it may be dated, others are things I don't do anymore, but it can give an onsite into my journey.
