Highlights for April were the:
- Saucecon Talk on “Adding more security to your testing and automating”,
- on Patreon I have started a new ongoing series of a “30 days of Exploratory Testing Challenges”… or however many days of challenges seem natural, this was spread out over the month of April, and following months because it takes time to do and process the learnings from the challenges.
- my API Challenges now all have video solutions. I’m busy transcribing these and then converting them into blog posts. There are links to each solution from the challenges page itself.
