Welcome to the 68th issue!
Last week, someone reached out to me on LinkedIn asking if I can share some insights about quality metrics.
I remembered there were a few great articles that I included in the previous issues of Software Testing Weekly. I typed metrics in the search bar, quickly found them and sent them over.
So here's the tip, if you want to learn more about a certain technology, tool or approach, try the search bar. With nearly 1,500 links included since the beginning of this project, you'll likely find some useful information.
Hope that helps. 😊
Happy testing everyone!
