Software QA & Testing Meetup – June 2015 Meetup Scheduled

Attention Ohio Testers:

For our last month’s meeting in May we completed our discussion about “Interviewing & Hiring for Software Testing Jobs – Part 2.”

“Let’s Talk Testing, An Open Discussion” is the title of our meeting for June 30, 2015. As the name suggests, we will not be having a specific topic predetermined. Rather we will leave the evening as an open topic format where we can discuss a wide range of topics.

– Have a problem you are trying to solve? Or even a general question about testing or test management? Bring it to the group and let’s see if we can use our collective brain power to help each other out and share our experiences.

Tweet Bits from #ntd2015 – Nordic Testing Days 2015

Nordic Testing Days 2015 was held June 3-5, 2015 in Tallin Estonia.

Based on the amount of traffic on Twitter, it looked like a great conference.

Below you will find some of my favorite Tweets from the conferences while I followed #ntd2015.

I suggest that everyone take a few minute to review all the posts, pictures, and conference slides that have been posted on Twitter.

Thanks to all of those that took time to Tweet!

And here they are….
