It has been quite some time since I have compiled Tweet Bits, but I found a worthy reason to start back up. That reason…TestBash 3.
While I was unable to attend, I knew that I could gain nuggets of information from those who were able to attend #TestBash via the awesomeness of Twitter (one of my favorite #testing resources).
I thought I would save some of you time and list out some of my favorite Tweets that I read from the conference. In true Twitter fashion, posts below are from latest to earliest. Due to the length of this post, I did not include active hyperlinks, you will have to copy and paste them yourself.
I hope you enjoy reading the list as much as I did! I am curious to know what some of your favorite posts might be!
Many Thanks and Kudos for the Conference!!!
