I'm just moving the same code to a different place, what could possibly go wrong?

What could go wrong is some idiot could move it to a class method, not an instance method causing the method to be considered "Not Implemented"

I never thought I’d see the day where developers voluntarily turn themselves into testers, but that’s exactly what they’re doing by inviting LLMs to create outputs from requirements they helped refine which they have to check for errors afterward. Obviously the tester skillset is valuable then.

Access to the @ministryoftesting.com community Slack might be worth the cost of a professional membership alone.

Should rate of spam accounts on your service be considered a measure of success? Because @ministryoftesting.com is doing quite well under that measure.

If you saw the code for the feature I'm working on, you'd be able to tell I just re-read 99 Bottles of OOP

Just got out of a chat about leading with quality with the one and only @rosiesherry.com!! It was so much fun ☺️

(And also, I’m feeling a little star struck 🤩)

I don't get the point, because I parried it before it stabbed me.

Woah, I've been awarded 23 Community Stars and earned 16 badges in the #MoTaverse! Great to see these achievements appear on my Ministry of Testing profile. Have you created yours yet?

Perfect is the enemy of getting other important shit done.

And now i’ve sent an article off to @ministryoftesting.com for editing and… wow. I’ve gone from riding the emotional Cyclone (shoutout to Brooklyn!) to Kingda Ka 💀🎢

Have a fun run Danny!

I do Object Oriented Programming, in that the computer objects whenever I try to run it.

Just seen the @ministryoftesting.com lineup for #TestBash #2025 in Brighton in October and I am already both excited and impatient for the fantastic set of talks it looks like it will present… now to try and get to attend!

What a difference a weekend makes. Hours banging my head against the wall on Friday, found and fixed my problem in half an hour this morning.

This has been my day. It'll probably be my Monday as well.

If I ever make a game, I will title it One Play and the sequel would be Two Play. I'd be hoping to make it a quadrilogy.

Just want to give a shout out to this glorious little integration test which saved my arse from unwittingly breaking a bunch of stuff. Well done, you legend, you’re the best!

I sometimes get even weirder memories of having played them.

@ministryoftesting.com If ET (the Spielberg movie character, not the test technique) landed on The Testing Planet, would he be ET The Extra Testrial?

At the @ministryoftesting.com London meetup. Sadly, 5 minutes before a site bug was found, but I don't have time to fix it. Can't decide if it is apt, but it certainly is annoying.

Re-reading my post, I can see why you think that. No thankfully. I meant I used the lift, then used it again later.

A lift floor number screen that just says starting

It was like this when I first got in this lift an hour ago

I dreamt last night that I had an idea for a great TestBash talk. Sadly I don't remember what it was, but do remember one line:

Even managers can recognize complexity. They take one look and go "wow, that looks complicated".

I saw the time had just gone 8 and thought "shit, I should be starting work". Then remembered it is Saturday.

MoT badges for avid reader, TestBash trailblazer, career champion, bio builder, Club explorer, The Testing Planet contributor

I was never in a childhood organisation / club where they collected badges, but I'm guessing it had a similar sense of achievement to getting badges on my @ministryoftesting.com profile. Really curious as to what others are out there. Which badges am I missing? 🪐

Just had to deal with a flaky positive test. I.e. one that sometimes passed when it shouldn't have done.

It's called Netflix because all you do is flick through thinking "I might watch that", but you never do.
