Observe, explore, plan, explore, expose. Testing...it’s a craft I’ve been working on for 20+ years. 🔎

@PeterAttiaMD As a fellow canuck, sent you an email outlining my interesting condition. Would love to fly and chat with you. You might be surprised at my situation. P.S. as an aside, google “Joan O’Malley Flag”… that’s my mom.

@mikelaaronRedux @AppleSupport I’m experiencing the exact same thing

When you are dead, you don't know you are dead. It's pain only for others.

It's the same thing when you are stupid.

@UPSHelp Message sent. Let’s see.

[James O'Malley @shamusom]

@UPS has been one of the worst customer experiences I’ve ever had....and especially during these times. 😒

Never confuse education with intelligence, you can have a PhD and still be an idiot. 🧠

Wow #Apple I don’t even own a HomePod. How’d this pass testing? 😂

[James O'Malley @shamusom]

@RobSnow15 I stopped in for a coffee at Bridgehead in the glebe... FULL of "striking" teachers. Sitting down, coats off, chatting. But it's all about the kids.

When testing, while it’s important to describe the “weed” you are seeing, remember it’s also about the “root” of the weed as well. The key is to know when to stop digging.

Bad design flaw @VolvoCarUSA @volvocars The 2018 XC60 has a rear door flaw which allows way too much dirt inside the doors. I started a thread which has numerous user complaints: https://t.co/dj7heneoCl

[James O'Malley @shamusom]

Note to my tester self: Scientists can measure only the things that can be measured. This is something so key to remember when testing.

[James O'Malley @shamusom]

Nope, I don’t see anything wrong with this!? 😫

I’m reading a great book called “Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World.”

A CEO once said to his Test Manager “Don’t bring me ______; bring me _______.” Fill in the blanks. Mine would say don’t bring me test cases; bring me up to speed on where our weaknesses are. #Softwaretesting

[Michael Bolton @developsense.bsky.social @michaelbolton]

I'm gratified that people involved with testing seem to agree. Can we get this message across to more development and management colleagues? DevOps is not a replacement for deep testing. Shallow testing within DevOps affords an opportunity to do deep testing whenever we need it.
