I love this pattern to write JSON Assertions, so I decided to finally write about it, as I haven't seen it documented or used anywhere yet. Disclaimer: This is some intense technical stuff. I hope you find it as useful as I do on a daily basis. testpappy.wordpress.com/2022/08/31/api…

If all you care about is Chromium-based browsers, I believe you're doing your users a disservice. Using a tool that uses an underlying proprietary protocol instead of a standardized one facilitates this. Plus, it's bad for the open web.

At Wharf Chambers for a day of learning at the Testing Atelier in #Leeds. I’m doing a talk on #testing #Microservices in the afternoon

Had a great day at my first Testing Atelier event in Leeds :) I really enjoyed the talk by Steve Mellor as well as picking his brain on the role of a Test Architect. And I FINALLY got to meet the infamous @Beth_AskHer after several online interactions 🙂 #TestAtelier

'Dear Evil Tester' by Alan Richardson dropped through my letterbox yesterday - It's not a typical book on #software #testing, but a very satirical and irreverent look at the field which will definately teach you a few things and put a smile on your face : eviltester.com/page/dearevilt…

Long lived source branches that go stale are a big problem in software #development, updating the branch with changes made upstream can be difficult - I just managed to #git #rebase a branch without blowing anything up or using --force so now it's ready to be reviewed as a PR 😅

We’re excited to be Roq-ing a new image! After months of fantastic collaboration with partners, clients, and our own great team, we’re ready to unveil our new brand identity. We hope you like it as much as we do! #Roq #QualityEngineering #LikeNoOther

The launch of the new #Roq brand means exciting times for us. So much more than a new logo, look and feel, Test Architect Steve Mellor tells us what his involvement in the evolution of our portfolio and #QualityEngineering Ecosystem means to him. roq.co.uk/blog/quality-e…

#Roq Test Architect Steve Mellor looks at #OperatingSystemMigration and #WindowsUpdates and gives his #OperatingSystem considerations for testing #MicrosoftWindows updates in organisations to reduce the associated risks. roq.co.uk/opinions/opera… #QualityEngineering #LikeNoOther

#Roq CEO Stephen Johnson shares his thoughts on why Quality is everybody's business. A #QualityFirst approach brings so many benefits, not least a goodnights sleep! roq.co.uk/blog/why-quali… #QualityEngineering #LikeNoOther #SDLC

FINAL SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT! We are thrilled to have Steve Mellor speaking at our 2023 Conference with his talk 'Monolith to microservices - test approach and lessons learned'! Find out more and get your tickets here: buff.ly/3HF6UXk #SIGiST23 #SoftwareTesting #Tech

Steve Mellor is starting his talk #sigist23

Steve Mellor just yet again demonstrated and reassured us that there's no such thing as "our system is too complex and too complicated for automation". There are ways to build your automation more effective and more efficient but you need to be smart about it. #SIGiST2023

#Productivity Tip : I organise tasks and projects in multiple email folders to make things easy to find, but files that aren't linked or attached to #email can get easily get lost - drag files into a folder in #outlook and manage emails and files all in one place

I use #VSCode as my preferred editor, and customised the syntax highlighting - I've just published a Tertiary colour theme that's designed to be easy on the eye : marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName…

Cleaned up and pushed some uncommitted code on the test tools I wrote a few years back. I’m going to modify Wisard to generate #PageObjects, Jester needs a better UI and more #REST #API testing features. If you’re interested: objectivetester.github.io/wisard/ objectivetester.github.io/jester/

I’m #buildinginpublic a REST #API #test tool in #Java that supports authentication and renders the response in a tree view and lets you assert on values, generating #tests in code. #buildinpublic objectivetester.github.io/jester/
