February 2019 Content Summary

TLDR; Another month of lots of content with tools, blog posts, patreon and links

The content on Patreon is accessible for only $1 a month at patreon.com/eviltester. Supporters gain access to downloadable PDFs of the content and micro courses e.g. How I Test - Web App, Test Ability Audit and more

I’m conscious that a lot of information gets lost in the noise of the world so I’ll try and collate content I release and find useful. This was February 2019

If you want to keep up to date on a more regular basis you can follow me on - Linkedin, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Youtube

And I have newsletter you can sign up for.

Tools & Code

I wrote a few more tools, mainly to experiment more with JavaScript and learn how to write Chrome Extensions.

The Observatron A chrome extension for capturing information as you perform exploratory testing of web sites.
CounterString JS My second (at least) JavaScript CounterString implementation, but this runs as a Chrome extension so you can right click on a field and insert a counterstring.

Blog Posts

All my YouTube videos are embedded within blog posts, so I haven’t listed the videos separately.

Podcast

The Evil Tester Show had 1 new episode released

-The Finding Tools Special how to find tools and evaluate them effectively.

Patreon

Some of this is overlap with the blog and YouTube. When I release a YouTube video I also provide it ad-free to Patreons and create a blog post for it. And I discuss my blog posts in more detail with extra thoughts over on Patreon. I also create unique content on Patreon, so there is usual more released on my Patreon site than publicly.

I release a PDF which has the full text of all my blog posts and patreon posts as a Patreon benefit to make it easier for Patreon supporters to catchup in batch mode.

Things that caught my eye

I usually post things that catch my eye on Twitter

Test & Feedback Chrome Extension from Microsoft It didn’t fit my workflow but some people might be interested.
How to write mathematics An interesting set of guidelines that we can apply to our own writing process. Shared on twitter by Steven Strogatz
Infrastructure Diagrams as code I like diagrams that I can version control and specify in code. This blog post describes another library. You might also be interested in Graphviz and PlantUml
A brief history of software engineering shared on twitter by Dave Farley
The SysInternals Video Library has been released to YouTube, I had this on DVD back in the days when I tested a lot of Windows apps.

Catherine Karena pointed out that Ross Anderson’s Security Engineering book is free to read online.
