Five for Friday – July 5, 2019

It’s the July 4th holiday weekend edition of FfF – here are five links worth reading.

  • Jeff Nyman is back yet again (seriously, once I know all of you read his blog regularly, I’ll stop linking to his posts). This time, he answers the question, Should Testers Own Quality
  • A cool article on the time a user researcher tried to ruin Halo 2
  • I always enjoy a good hacking article – here’s one on how to break into your neighbors house
  • I made a full switch this week from Chrome to Firefox for use as my “main” browser. I took the opportunity to use a proper password manager and so far have been mostly happy with dashlane (there will be another post here in the future about password management my opinion changes)
  • Lastly, a short article from someone who has figured out the future of test – From gatekeepers of quality to enabling teams

My interview (very little about testing) is here – https://twelveminuteconvos.com/alan-page/  

  • Test Innovation

    I’m in Frankfurt for a few days, and tomorrow (Wednesday), I am giving a keynote at German Testing Day on Test Innovation at Microsoft. At this point, I’ll give you a few moments to chuckle, laugh, or make snide remarks about the topic. I think I’ve heard it all before; “testers at MS just write…
