Thank you for joining episode 111 of the Testing Peers podcast. This time Chris, David, Dermot & Sanne talk on the theme of 'This is the way', otherwise known perhaps as the gospel according to....

Before the main discussion, Sanne asks the group about any new to the Peers recipes or restaurants, so now I'm a little hungry.

*good time to pause for a snack*

Chris then introduces the Mandalorian theme. What are those absolute truths that we see some follow.

Is it testing/checking? The testing pyramid? Given, when then?

A couple of blog posts referenced from 2016:
Dan Ashby: https://danashby.co.uk/2016/10/19/continuous-testing-in-devops/
Del Dewar: https://findingdeefex.com/2016/05/20/the-testing-checking-synergy/

Should models be rigidly and explicitly followed or are they useful tools to achieve a common understanding.

As ever, we discuss not only the value of context, but also of pragmatism as well as the appreciation of the etymology.

We speak to experience bias and theory vs reality.

The conversation closes with Chris referencing Leigh Rathbone's 10 leadership lessons from Ted Lasso talk.

Welcome to another episode of the Testing Peers Podcast. Chris, David, Russell and Simon talk about one of the big buzzwords in the industry at present being the term of Quality Engineering, what it means, how it differentiates from "Testing" and what it means for the future.

For the banter, Russell asks us all what our favourite pizza toppings are, unsurprisingly there is talk of "it depends", and pretty much every topping is mentioned from the peers.

We start by talking about what Quality Engineering is and whether there is such a role of a Quality Engineer. This takes us on a slight rabbit hole around job titles.

Is there more to Quality Engineering than just Testing being re-branded? Does it offer more around holistic quality?

A couple of mentions were made during the episode.

• The Quality Engineering Charter which has been launched in 2024
• Jit Gosai's Quality Engineering Newsletter

Where do you sit on the discipline of Quality Engineering?

Hello friends, thank you for joining us for the latest episode of the Testing Peers podcast.

This time, join Russell, David, Chris & Dermot as we discuss Presentations.

Before diving into the main event, Chris asks the group to go back in time to when they first travelled for work. Our thoughts and experiences of that, and how that will have changed over our careers.

As the Peers move on, we discuss different presentation styles, contexts, tools and 'weapons of choice' - hello PowerPoint my old friend.

Talking about slides, we discuss context, notes, ALL OF THE TEXT, PowerPoint as documentation and more.

Dermot talks about the value of audience consideration and the concept of multi-sensory learning [https://www.twinkl.co.uk/teaching-wiki/multisensory-learning#:~:text=Multisensory%20learning%20is%20all%20about,gustatory%2C%20olfactory%2C%20proprioceptiveorvestibular%20senses.]

The Peers talk about changing styles over time, thinking on our feet and preparing for the worst.

The team discuss the value of setting expectations for interactivity and engagement, the power of good facilitation, allies and such.
