Stress and burnout cost the IT industry a fortune, yet one minute of breathing before a meeting can change how a whole team communicates.
Code quality, metrics and mindset for students
Teaching testing in university before real projects put pressure on you: Why architecture trumps testability and ChatGPT disguises it.
Do your tools fit your real needs?
Picking the wrong end-to-end test framework can leave whole browsers untested. Here's how to match tools to real project needs before it costs you.
More quality in requirements with AI
Vague requirements are the most expensive problem in testing. How AI really helps when determining, formulating and checking requirements.
Fail more to learn faster
"It depends" is not a dodge. It is the only honest answer when context shapes every testing decision, and here is why that matters.
Career as a software tester
If you only mention bugs in an interview as a tester, you're giving away your strongest card. How to use emotions, negotiate salary and build trust.

Accessibility testing of PDFs
PDF accessibility doesn't just apply to websites: Why contracts, invoices and policies must now be accessible and what this means in technical terms.
Testers as Influencers
Testers who frame findings around stakeholder impact, not bug counts, get action. A 15-second standup check shows how small habits outrun big transformations.
Using the board game for test design
How do you create a board game that delivers real test cases? A team built it - and learned more about testing than expected.
Migrating from Cypress to Playwright
Switching test automation frameworks mid-product is messy. Here is what a real Cypress-to-Playwright migration looks like, from the pricing clash that forced the move to AI-assisted test translation.
Testing with Natural Intelligence
AI takes over testing? What it can't do: genuine curiosity, intuition and thinking outside the box. Why human tester thinking remains.
Everyone Owns Quality? Really?
When everyone owns quality, no one really does. Why cross-functional teams often lack the deep testing skills they need most.
What moves the software testing community?
