  5 Things to Read JavaScript Pro Tips - Code This, NOT That Very nice video with good JavaScript tips for beginners Breaking the Test Case Addiction (Part 7) A new blog post on the series where Michael Bolton talks about the taboo of the Test Cases many people have. Here, he suggests how to communicate what was tested, and the findings of the testing, without using Test Cases, changing the focus to more face-to-face conversations. Beware the Inexperienced Automation Team If you consider testing a simple and straightforward, with no need for deep cognitive capacity and knowledge, then, if you want to automate testing (whatever you consider it), you probably don’t need people with extensive experience in coding, correct?
