On March 15, 2018March 15, 2018 By Kamila MrozekIn Conferences, Testing1 Comment

The time came for me to gather my thoughts on the topic of diversity. It is a very trendy and yet complex term. When I think about diversity first things that come to my mind are a diversity of gender, race, belief, and experience. Those are important topics that we should talk about, so I …

Speaking pays off

During Test:Fest conference Karolina Madej-Dempniak had a discussion panel about Perfect Tester. At some point, she asked a question "Why do you think that Perfect Tester should speak at conferences?". My answer was fast - it is our duty to share the knowledge we have - to inspire others, to prevent them from our mistakes, …

Motivation MAP

On February 22, 2018February 21, 2018 By Kamila MrozekIn Leadership, Testing3 Comments

I think motivation is very complex, but yet important topic. Especially for testers. Some of our tasks are repeatable and sometimes boring. We are under a high load of stress and chaos. Therefore I am not surprised that I know many demotivated testers. Even during Test Management Meetup in Wrocław topic of Motivation was selected …

How to talk about testing?

On February 1, 2018February 1, 2018 By Kamila MrozekIn TestingLeave a comment

I was thinking for a long time to write about this issue. This article by testerzy.pl (sorry, only in Polish) inspired me to finish it and publish. The thing is that I find it really hard to talk about my job with non-IT people like family or friends. If I would introduce my job like …

Improve your conference experience

Two years ago I was very excited about going to Test:Fest conference. But at the time I've entered the conference, I looked around and recognized no one. A crowd of unknown testers talking to each other. It was scary. Almost with tears in my eyes, I grabbed a coffee and desperately searched for a place …

QA story: Barrel of fun

2 years ago I was the only tester in the team of 9 developers, 1 scrum master and 1 product owner. Our product was 5 years old social platform with massive technical debt. Many persons responsible for writing the core code were no longer working with our company. At some point, we had over 200 …

Call for papers unboxing

On January 11, 2018April 18, 2018 By Kamila MrozekIn Conferences, Testing2 Comments

Everyone has a story. The problem is that either we do not realize we have it or we don't know how to put it into words and presentation. One of the things I found hard at the beginning of my journey was getting through the call for papers. So here are two things I hope …
