#qualityassurance — Public Fediverse posts

340 days of #amazonDE other #amazon online store's systemic #metadata errors, affecting several well known actors filmographies, searchability as well as mangled franchises.

While other retailers fix edtheir metadata, Amazon prefers to ignore it.

👩‍💻💡 Rachel Laycock over at #Thoughtworks thinks maybe we shouldn't review all that code 🙄—because who needs quality assurance when you can just "challenge your thinking" and "wander off on tangents"? 🤔✨ Let's just throw caution to the wind and embrace chaos! 🎉🚀

Day 290

If a journalist eventually finds it, the story waiting for them is no longer “Amazon misspelled an actor’s name.”

It is:

“A German woman spent nearly a year documenting a systemic catalogue-integrity problem while every major stakeholder said, in one form or another, that responsibility belonged somewhere else.”

📜✨ Behold, the grand treatise on software quality! After a trip through the philosophical fog of "absence of problems," we're left pondering if 100 experts are really just a euphemism for "still no clue." 🤔 Spoiler: quality isn't scalable—unless you count endless meetings about it! 🚀

You're a #softwaredeveloper, and never once have you experienced an error happening while handling a previous error? I guess I don't want to use your software, because your #testing only ever covered the happy paths. Is that a #qualityassurance #bestpractice? I think not.

Day 268

The #Entertainment industry has no clue about how wide spread this issue is. International platforms, broken contributor IDs & incomplete search results because of it.

When will anyone start owning this problem?

With shift-left practices, AI-assisted testing, and standardised governance, a modern QA strategy lets fintech teams ship faster with fewer surprises. https://hackernoon.com/four-reasons-why-strategic-qa-is-a-fintech-superpower #qualityassurance

I continue working on my #QualityAssurance portfolio project and next step is a combo of manual and automated #a11y testing

So I updated the four major browsers and spent 15 minutes just to disable all #ai features in #chrome and #edge, while #firefox allows me to do it with one “kill switch”

How are you kicking off your week 🫠

Hey @maaikees just wanted to let you know that I really like your blog!

Trying to switch careers from frontend developer to QA engineer / tester and your honest and critical articles are helping me a lot

I might have to go the traditional way at first (getting the #ISTQB certificate) to get a foot in the door, but I'm already familiar with all the other levels, for better or worse:

Currently exploring #QualityAssurance and documenting the process in the open:

Give it a read if you're curios, a couple more of those are coming in the near future 🤗

I wanna dive deeper into the topic of #QualityAssurance and was wondering if someone can recommend learning resources?

Thanks to my work as #frontend engineer I’m familiar with the basics, know how to work with #playwright and #vitest, know the difference between unit, integration and end-to-end test, etc.

I’m specifically curious about the planning aspect, with a focus on #accessibility 🤗

AI isn't replacing engineers, it's shifting value to those who validate what's safe, correct, & worth shipping. Is QA finally getting the recognition it deserves in the engineering world? #Engineering #AI #QualityAssurance

I've been writing this piece on and off for around five years now. I've rewritten it a bunch of times. I think it is okay to publish now.

When QA adopts „AI“ will it then become Quantity Assurance?

Fun facts:
1. I lived within 30 miles of Interstate 40 (in 5 cities across 2 states) for 40 years. I broke that streak in 2020.
2. I used to have significantly more hair.

Now, your turn.
