  1. @chris_mcmahon With REST, how do you handle the need for complex data types (a specific set of criteria)? REST call explosion?
  2. Feeling dumb today. How do testers find input data for automation? REST calls? SQL queries? Model code?
  3. Grr, I hate when I write a test that passes for the wrong reasons!
  4. @jaredrichardson I agree. But how do you get past the mindset that just doesn't see the value? Or refuses?
  5. Oh how sad. Listening to team member complain that whole team "gut feel" is pointless, because testers don't know abt dev work & vice versa.
  6. @hsiboy We should chat. I'd like to put together a small vm with several tools and a sample app for use offline. I have access to hosting.
  7. @hsiboy I have a goal of creating and releasing a VM with these things configured so people can use them easier.
  8. @hsiboy Harder is tough to imagine. I managed to make ruby seg fault and had to go as far as uninstalling rvm and starting from scratch :)
  9. @hsiboy I was on Mac. Windows is not my best friend.
  10. It only took me 5.5 hours to get cucumber with page-object to log in to my site's home page! #smallvictories
  11. How's a tester supposed to learn a new tool or language when she's ... well .... a TESTER?!?! pastebin.com/YycfjQCn
  12. Be afraid. Be very afraid. I am attempting @chzy's page object gem on his sample app. From scratch. And I'm a Ruby newbie :)
  13. Seriously, TSA. When I ask to opt out of the scanner because I am pregnant, pls don't argue with me about it.
  14. OH: "Well, there's no 'i' in quality .......... Oh." #telsum
  15. For good writing about testing, try these aggregation sites: testingreflections.com and testingreferences.com #telsum
