Without warning, while I was driving, Alan Page and Brent Jensen started chatting with the Expert Testers AI bot, on the AB Testing podcast. I was suddenly both very curious and very nervous as to what my virtual child might say when I wasn’t around. These two ‘supposed experts’, are…

The most difficult problem in software testing isn’t testing, or creating value — it is communicating the value of the testing. Knowing what to communicate, how to communicate, when to communicate, and who to communicate with, is an essential skill that few have mastered. Too often testers make communication complicated…

Hi, I’ve replicated my testing brain and would love to chat with you about AI, software, testing, automation, management, etc. I can even help write tests for software and LLMs. Jarbon.AI (http://www.jarbon.ai ) The AI bot is trained on my opinions, learnings, books, blogs, etc. It can understand and articulate things better than me and is always on. I’ll continually update and tweak the JarbonAI bot brain based on feedback. I might not have much more to say after this ;)

Strategy Paradox The best test strategy is a mix of conflicting strategies. Nobel Principal Proving positive ROI means the Nobel Prize in economics. Data Volume Principal Less data, but correct and real-time, is best. Retention Principal Enrich and support your team — to keep them. Law of Ratios The developer-to-tester…

Law of Coverage Automate frequent or difficult things. Law of Speed Speed kills quality and engineer’s time. Law of ROI Automation is the most expensive, slowest, and flakiest way to write tests. Maintenance Principal Automation exponentially becomes maintenance. Law of Failures When a failure occurs, it should be painfully obvious. …

Bug Rate Principle Decreasing bug rates validate effective testing. Principle of Speed Manual testing slows development, to speed up quality. The Teacher Paradox If someone is selling a philosophy of manual testing — they are wrong. Test Count Paradox Test counts are not correlated with value, only cost. Law of…

In the realm of cautionary tools, we have the iconic Doomsday Clock, the vigilant eyes of NORAD, and now, a newcomer: OpenTest.AI. These pivotal monitoring systems serve as early warning heralds, potentially of mankind’s downfall. OpenTEST.AI, …

I don't recommend friends use ChatGPT/AI for test automation. This might seem counterintuitive coming from me. For most testing projects, the time spent learning how to practically leverage AI will probably outweigh the benefits. It might even drive you mad. For most test automation engineers, AI will be more of…

Checkie.AI is a virtual test team for every app team, and some much-needed help for every test team. We all know testing can be painful, slow and expensive. Thanks to the latest advances in AI, now everyone can have an instant-on test team. …
