This weekend we’ll finally have our own Weekend Testing chapter in Australia & New Zealand! It’s been a few weeks in prep but it’s finally happening and I’m excited.
Oh, you probably won’t know what Weekend Testing (WT, http://weekendtesting.com) is! So let me explain… This WT stuff was “invented” in India and is spreading the globe. The aim is that Testers learn from other testers while using their skills. So the low down is, at a certain time on the weekend and undefined number of testers meet on a Skype chat and a facilitator then poses a task/mission. The testers go and do their stuff for an hour and then come back and discuss what they did and why.
The success has been quite phenomenal so far. There are three chapters in India and one in Europe. Because the time zone differences are quite extreme for us here at the other side of the globe there was a need to start our own chapter. So….
18th April is the first session
6:30PM New Zealand time and
4:30PM AUS time (east coast).
