The 19th issue of my software testing reading recommendations contains 9 blog posts and one video. There are posts dealing with the topics if agile teams don’t need testers, what a grandma can teach you about programming and automation, a very interesting post from Neil Studd about testing for dark patterns. There is another post about the evolution of the error, a post about mistakes. Another post is describing a leader’s framework for decision making, Mark Miller is writing about great leadear’s serve. A very interesting article from Maaret Pyhäjärvi about on how wait times improved her testing. The last article is from John Stevenson about technical vs. non-technical testers.
Enjoy reading the posts.
