It's exam season - even for me! So I'm wishing good luck to everyone taking, or waiting on the restults of, any exam of any kind.

On that subject, this week I talk about how much I generally hate taking exams, why "exam craft" is so ridiculous and why going beyond the test as written is so important in QA.

How 'bout that weather we're having eh? Everyone enjoying the unbearable heat?!

That's right, this week I'm doing the most British thing I can possible do - complain about nice weather!

I also talk a bit about how teaching others is such a great way to further develop your own understanding of a topic.

Oh and it's hot... so very hot.

Today I'm celebrating Father's Day (albeint a little late) with some insights into my own experiences as a dad, a little window into how my diagnosis came about, and what it's liking bringing a new life into the world... of game quality.

Today I wanted to share a revalation I had during a meeting at work last week and try to put an end to those situations where work stalls because it isn't clear who is meant to be doing what.

Happy Pride Month!

This week I'm talking a bit more about how the language we use can further the cause of marginalisation within the neurodivergent community, and about bug workflows (no link, just two hopefully useful topics).

I leave you with an additional thought: if your argument against EDI is that you're afraid someone will take your job because they're part of a margianalised community, then what you're really saying is that you don't think you're very good at your job and only got it because you're NOT part of that community. Have fun unravelling that!

We are now officially into Season 2 of QAuDHD!

I finished last season on a two-part-er cliffhanger about test cases, so this week let's finish off that little section while also talking about the downsides of the neurodivergent ability to think "outside the box".

Can you believe it's been one whole year since I started QAuDHD? Me neither. I mean I knew I could ramble on about my special interests until the cows come home, but how I've not run out of topics, I don't know.

Anyway, this week I'm talking scripts: both social and for testing.
