Good Enough Testing is all about helping developers make better decisions around what to test, how to test it, and when it’s enough. If you’ve ever struggled with overtesting, undertesting, or just feeling unsure if your tests are enough, this workshop might be for you.

Based on last year's workshop feedback, this is a more pragmatic and action-oriented version. We will focus on practicing test design techniques while keeping a solid understanding of when and how to apply them.

After running five sessions of Good Enough Testing workshops last year, in the first months of this year, I decided to pause for a bit. The reason? I needed time to focus on my health. It was the right call. Now I am ready to come back with fresh energy and a new format.
