    We should not fear AI but look forward to it removing the cruft so we can properly investigate issues and implement solutions.

    In terms of easy it is to test a system I’d add if there are hooks built into the platform for testing. Additionally, is the system being built TDD? Two things you want to see in a platform for testing.

    Excellent examples. I personally find if good TDD is being practised then hooks for testing emerge naturally. - Mark

    What makes you say that? I know I have faced my fair share of Wagile contexts, but I've also been in teams where we took each story at a time in a collaborative fashion and reacted to end user changes as we released. - Mark

    Hey I actually applied Pirate Tester's advice: in my second company I spoke at the internal meetup, which was less scary since the audience was smaller and I knew everyone in the audience. Later when I did that same talk at a bigger public meetup and had already re-hersed it in a "product-like" environment and went really smoothly! It's a very good peace of advice!!

    Great story Mirza. Personally it's something I've done for a long time when preparing my own talks. I share 'draft' versions that are shorter and a bit rougher around the edges. It helps me get comfortable with material and solicit useful feedback on what to add and what to improve. - Mark

    Mark manual test Jira tickets as “Automatable” and later “Automated” or “not-Automatable” Add the manual test Jira Ticket link(s) to the Allure results. Strive for 80% coverage before moving to next subcategory.

    If your org's development strategy is API first, then yes. If not, then prioritize UI performance testing. Testing should cater to customers first. In an API-first strategy, the customers are developers, therefore API testing should be prioritized. In a non-API-first strategy, the customers are users who interact with your org's product using a UI, therefore UI testing should be prioritized.

    Context is always key in these types of discussions which you're demonstrating in your comment @zshn. It could be both could be prioritised and carried out at the same time, but we need the right skills, experience and support. That all has a huge impact on our decisions. - Mark

    You are actually talking about test plans. Test strategy should be pretty general and does not have to be specific. It is a general approach from which specific test plans are derived. Thus, test strategy could and IMHO should be very brief and general. If you need anything specific, than one should ask about test plans, not strategy.

    It's a tricky thing Strategies and Plans. I would definitely subscribe to the idea of my strategy is my vision, whereas my plan are my concrete steps to take and mitigation if the plan goes sideways - Mark

    Solid tools there. Thank you for sharing. Just to add another I really like is assertion libraries like fluentassertions, assertpy and assertj. They provide interfaces for more easy and readable validations in your test code

    Cool explanation. While watching this video I applied another concept from the levels of knowledge described by Neil DeGrasse Tyson. There are things we know that we know - those can be covered by scripted tests, they are mainly included into accepted tests There are things we know that we don't know. Those are minority of acceptance tests, mainly exploratory tests There are things we don't know that we don't know. Those are defects slipped to production ... And they should be covered by getting feedback from customer support to incorporate them into our knowledge body
