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

    Five things on my mind – or interesting this week: I recently re-read a chunk of The Lean Startup, and highlighted yet-another-quote-about-failure-and-learning. “When blame inevitably arises, the most senior people in the room should repeat this mantra: if a mistake happens, shame on us for making it so easy to make that mistake.” — Eric…
