Welcome to the 183rd issue!
Last week, I asked you to share your favourite software testing resources.
Almost half of the responses included Test Automation University.
No wonder — it's such a great place to learn!
The other resources were mainly popular blogs and books. You can see the full list here.
Thanks for sharing & happy testing! 🙂
Two ways of learning that benefit testing
Inspired by a book, Mike Harris shares a thought on how testers can use a specific learning feedback loop to improve their testing capabilities.
Furthermore, Han Toan Lim continues a series of articles describing System 1 and System 2 in Testing — Part 3.

Welcome everyone! 🙌
It's Friday again (time flies, right?) and I'm back with the third issue of Software Testing Weekly!
The great thing about preparing this newsletter is that I discover really amazing resources during my research.
I was surprised to find Manning publications this week (about time, I know). I'm even more surprised by the free book samples that they share. But finding the whole book about unit testing published there for free?! It blew my mind! It's called Unit Testing Principles, Practices and Patterns by Vladimir Khorikov and you can read it here.
Another wonderful thing I've found is this excellent wrap-up of UI testing best practices by Stefano Magni. It's all nicely laid out, and it's open-source - meaning you can contribute to it too. I love it!
Last but not least, a friendly reminder that you can submit a link for the next issue. You can also follow this page on Twitter.
Enjoy the read!
Welcome to the 182nd issue!
Today, I'd like to ask you:
What's your favourite software testing resource? 📚
Let me know via this form.
It can be anything: a learning website, a book that inspired you, a single blog post, a tool you use, or anything else that has had the most impact on your work.
For example, the biggest game-changer regarding my perception and thinking about my role was discovering Modern Testing Principles in 2018.
So, what's yours? 🙂
Welcome to the 86th issue!
This week, I stumbled upon Phil Crosby’s Four Absolutes of Quality described by Bob Marshall. It reminded me about how much we can learn about quality management from the past.
I once mentioned a great documentary about the famous Japanese approach to quality and I feel it's the right moment to resurface it. It's simply brilliant.
Furthermore, you might also be interested in Phil Crosby's timeless book Quality is Free. I've just added it to my to-read list.
Happy testing!
Merry Christmas! 🎄
I hope you're having a wonderful holiday, free of worries and bugs.
Stay tuned for the next week (that will be next year already!) because I'll share with you a special edition of Software Testing Weekly.
See you in 2021! 😊

Welcome to the 234th issue!
Today, I want to share with you this gem — Navigating the World as a Context-Driven Tester.
It's a FAQ-like collection of answers to the most common questions about testing.
And it's great not only to refresh general knowledge, but even more importantly, to help your team better understand what testing is really about.
Kudos to Lee Hawkins for putting it together and to all the contributors.
You can learn more about the story behind the book from Lee's recent article.
Happy testing! 🙂
