~ 300 registrations. One week to go. Testers are not curious about AI anymore. They’re serious about it. This session isn't about the vague “AI will change everything” noise. Join the webinar. Block the time. Come prepared to think. Link: lnkd.in/gWt7jedM

If you’re a tester wondering what “AI agents in Testing” actually means (beyond Copilot demos), I wrote a two-part article that breaks it down using a simple 5W1H lens. The first part is here on the ShiftSync blog. shiftsync.tricentis.com/testing-deve...

The smartest leaders in history never made decisions alone. 👑 Kings had councils. 🏛️ Governments have expert panels. 🧠 Why? Diverse minds = better outcomes. Now imagine having your own council... But instead of people, it’s made up of the world’s best AI models.

Rahul Parwal @parwalrahul.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

My take on AI agents (especially in testing): Not every problem needs a fully autonomous system. Sometimes, what you really need… is a smart assistant, not a decision-maker. Testing is one of those problems. The human must remain in the loop. Why? Because testing is judgment. And judgment... 1/2

How do you ensure you remain “unhirable” as a tester? It might sound counterintuitive, but here’s a checklist of habits that could be sabotaging your career: • Neglecting Your Craft: If you’re not constantly sharpening your skills, you’re setting yourself up for stagnation.

Rahul Parwal @parwalrahul.bsky.social · 03/03/2025

If used wisely, you can use AI to automate the automation. That's like 100x efficiency. What needed a team of engineers can now be done quickly (but the catch is you need to know what needs to be done)

Here’s a harsh truth about learning: Most of you're learning super slow. You will easily forget what you learned if you don't put it into action against real-world challenges. When you put learning (theory) into action, the real learning happens! 1/2

🧵 Testing tools aren’t just about UI or API automation. Too many testers focus on the basics, but there’s a world of tools that can boost efficiency, creativity & rigor in our testing activities. Here’s a snapshot of some game-changing tools I use: 👇

Testers, Are you ready to learn and leverage Gen AI? Gen AI is everywhere - on your social feed, in your tools, maybe even in your work coffee ☕ (okay, not yet! 😆) The question is: Are you ready to learn, understand, and use AI in testing? 1/3

Myth: I do not need professional testers. Reality: Almost everyone is capable of doing testing to some degree. However, the risks of poor or low-grade testing cannot be reversed. Time won’t run backward so you can roll back your decision. Customer perceptions are hard to change. Happy testing!

Test planning is a common testing activity, yet every project and test lead does it with their own flavor of experience, context, and testing awareness. * What do you consider when doing your test planning? * How do you document it? In Jira? or In other doc? * Do you also include ET in test plan?

Haha nice! I'm really liking the MoT profiles. It's like a directory of quality and testing professionals, with a catalogue of their work! Like @parwalrahul.bsky.social said, you can also use them as a kind off portfolio. Really nice idea.

sometimes, I wonder how complex is the life of a content creator in testing space... and how less is written to actually help them & enable them to grow... In long run, most content creators don't persist on a 5 to 10 year timescale... some pivot, some stop doing it, some change their focus...

Accessibility is the way to go ahead for most modern apps. We are slowly moving from functionally working apps to functionally working & "accessible" apps.

Rahul Parwal @parwalrahul.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

I often see a disconnect between the business stakeholders and the sw teams. Often there are huge pressures due to acommitment being done to make a release. Such things put effect on the quality considerations or cut testing time. How to better communicate or manage such situations as a tester?

Rahul Parwal @parwalrahul.bsky.social · 31/12/2024

In my context, I have seen people using the manual testing term as a self-hating/derogatory term or to separate non-coders from coders. A lot of new people (especially freshers) make up wrong notions about testing right from the start because they have heard the term "manual" testing. 1/2

Here's why mindmapping is my favorite note taking approach: Mashing ideas together is a fabulous way to come up with something new. When you do that, you put your imagination and creativity in action. With mindmaps, you can find connections, make connections or break ideas apart. #mindmapit

Do you also use tools for good test design? Looking for practical tools or techniques that have worked for you? Here's what I have used and has worked to a good degree: - pairwise tool (pairwise) - testcompass (MBT) - all pairs (combinatorial testing, pairwise) What else should I be looking at?

Common talk anti-patterns: - Too many words on the slide - Too many concepts mixed up - Too many questions in the polls - Too many images on a single slide - Too many jargons - Too many key takeaways - Too many videos - Too many quotes to back up what you say Focus, Filter, & Finish with ease!

Golden rule to get better at presenting: Present more often. If you want to get better at presenting, you should be presenting something every week. Potential Places: 🔸Project meeting 🔸Meetup 🔸L&D session 🔸Colleagues / Private group of testers 🔸Townhall Sessions 🔸Demo / Review Meetings

What tools and techniques do you use for system analysis? Any activity that you do or some tool that you use? I have found: Flow Modelling, Mind mapping, Sketch noting, etc. to be very useful and want to hear out ideas about what do you do? Any heuristic, mnemonic, framework, tool, practice, etc?

The best testers I know use mnemonics like these to maintain consistency and thoroughness in their work. Here are 3 mnemonics that will make you a better tester instantly: 1. FEW HICCUPS (Instant Testing Ideas) 🔸 Familiarity 🔸 Explainability 🔸 World 1/n
