April 2019 Content Summary

TLDR; Another month of lots of patreon content, code reviews and a few blog posts 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’ve been concentrating on business this month, and creating a few new videos (for other companies) and conducting some code reviews.

If you want to know how I conduct code reviews then my Remote Code Reviews page explains it. This is a really good way to get experienced feedback on your projects even if you don’t want a more lengthy consultancy engagement.

I’m always happy to learn about your consultancy or mentoring needs. Remember consultancy is very cost effective because I hit your problems hard and fast or I work with your teams for short targeted engagements. You don’t hire me for 6 months, you hire me for days at a time and each engagement is tailored exclusively for you.

If you want me to work directly with your teams and help improve your approach and skill sets then you can contact me here or find more details of consultancy work on this information page.
