What do you spend more time doing during a day?Writing new tests? Fixing old tests?

Hey everyone, so I have a question for all of you. Recently, I have started my first ever Meetup group and before that I already went to couple of developer meetups, but I was wondering what do usually expect on the Meetups you are attending (two standard talks + networking afterwards or just one longer presentation)? Also are there any testing Meetups you are attending/enjoying?  

Hi Community, I would like to know how the security testing is performed and Is there any tools whichis used to scan the code and identify the vulnerabilities in the code.

Hi Community, I think the topic has been in debate for long. I think captcha cannot be automated and we should ask the dev team to remove it as it is designed to identify it is are used as security checks todeter spammers and hackers from using forms on web pages.But there are certain chrome windgets like buster which can resolve the captcha. kindly let me knowyour thoughts.

What are some of the steps that helped you implement security testing effectively into your testing?

Open source projects are always considered as dev-only contribution repos. is there any possible way that testers can also contribute to it?

How are the points added and how can I check the tally against my activities?

Hi Community, I would like to know what models do you use in your testing work? Which one do you find useful?  I heard a lot about HTSM model by James Bach. Do you use it? 🤔

I’m new to games testing , so I was wondering if there are any tools out there which uses re-enforced learning or ML to navigate through the game ?The game is being developed in Unity and I know Unity has tools to script automated tests but I’m more looking for tools which automatically would be able to traverse the game.  is there a tool out there which would do this?

I want to ask a question that is both simple and complex to answer: How do you write your test cases?Why do I say it is simple?Well I mean according to some definitions testers write test cases and since they do it often it should be easy. Also there is a ton of information online on how to write a test case, what should it contain, so again, easy and simple.Why do I say it is complex?Well, a PM once told me that the tests should be written in such a way that a person coming from the street should be able to run them. I mean that is not impossible to do but it will take time, a lot of time. One has to find a way to explain concepts that are not really in the day to day dictionary ( API for example).I think that they want somenthing like this When tests steps are really clear - YouTube 16What do you think? How do you do it?

If I want to implement an error budget for my project, who would the stakeholders be that we would need to consider reaching out to?

Lean Software Development is an agile software development methodology that focuses on reducing waste and maximizing value delivery to customers. It is based on the principles of the Toyota Production System and emphasizes continuous improvement, teamwork, and customer focus.In Lean Software Development, testing is an integral part of the development process. Testing is not considered a separate phase but is instead integrated throughout the development cycle. This is because Lean Software Development emphasizes the need for continuous feedback and continuous improvement, which can only be achieved through continuous testing.Testing in Lean Software Development is carried out in various forms, including unit testing, acceptance testing, and exploratory testing. Test automation is also an essential component of Lean Software Development, as it helps to reduce waste and improve efficiency. Automated testing helps to detect defects early in the development process, which reduces the cost
