Workroom PlayTime 022: Testing Story

We'll gather on Zoom / Miro, on Thursday 26 June at 4pm London time (local time for you) to play together with testing stuff.

We'll tell a collaborative story about testing, and see what happens. Here's more (not much more) about Testing Story.

These exercises are for everyone, for free. Paying Subscribers get to play together every week. This week's is open to subscribers and friends: Subscribers will see joining info below. Pop your name on the Miro board if you're coming.

In other news:

• Here's a new exercise comparing LLMs – this time on something that you know well (it's illustrative example is something I know well). It's a companion piece to Different LLMs do Different Things, which looked at code. We'll run it as an exercise soon.
• Here are last week's exercises for cat, head and tail, and a page on how cat, head and tail might be used by testers.
• I've updated my page for the command-line tool series to move it (mostly) into public. It will be past of my contributions to a tutorial with Bart and Huib about tools for testers which we're building for a debut at Agile Testing Days. It's a full-day interactive, and we hope you'll come away with tools that you've built for yourself and for your needs. Sign up!
• FINALLY, announcing two workshops (with tentative dates and times). There are barriers to entry: the test-driven generation one is free to paid subscribers, the environments one has prep work and I'm offering it for free to people who are already teaching. Ping me if you want to put your name in for any of those – I've got some names already but don't know whether anyone can make those times. I will run these again at different times soon – so tell me if you want one in your timezone.
  • 1) a re-run of the Test-Driven Generation EuroSTAR session, tentatively for 7 July 9:30-11am London time
  • 2) a small conversation and demo group on ephemeral environments for teaching testing (and, by extension, for testing) on 14 July 4:30 - 6pm London time.

Thank you for reading!

Cheers –

James
