Nicola Lindgren – A journey through testing, automation, development and agile

It’s been about 5 months since I was initially told that my role was disestablished and a new organisation structure would be in place in a few months in our department.

Target Audience There is a dedicated section called “Intended Audience” that explicitly tells us who the target audience of the book is.

Previously, I’ve blogged about implementing change and introducing new ideas to teams.

Note: I read this book about 11-12 months ago and took a lot of notes on what I thought about the book during this time (in preparation for a book review).

Maybe you are a tester who is currently trying to encourage the developers in your team to contribute more to the test automation framework?

Recently, Vernon Richards published The Credibility Playbook for Testers.

This is the third blog post in a 3 post series of my experience at the 2025 Öredev Conference.

How Can I Test This?

Introduction Over the past 10 years I’ve interviewed some fantastic software testing experts in our industry.

Why Asking Questions in Job Interviews Matters When you are interviewing for a role, it’s important to remember that you are in fact interviewing each other.

If you haven’t already, be sure to check out my blog posts from my first day at the Öredev conference. and my second day at the Öredev conference Learned a lot at my last day at the Öredev conference but this time the approach I took to this blog post is…

Yet again I had another fantastic day at Öredev powered by way too much coffee and candy.

I had a great time at the first day of Öredev today.

It’s been almost 2 years since I became a line manager and I’ve learned a lot in this journey so far.

In software testing, perception can impact both the quality of work and the outcomes of testing, affecting how others interpret test results and your credibility in the workplace.

“Lessons Learned in Software Testing” by James Bach, Bret Pettichord, and Cem Kaner is a comprehensive guide to software testing, drawing on the authors’ extensive experience to offer valuable insights and practical advice.

I read this book by Sarah Drasner a few months ago and long story short, I highly recommend it to people in an Engineering Manager role.

Here are my key takeaways from Ady Stokes webinar on [Ministry of Testing, you can also check out his article Simple Tests For Accessibility Every Tester Should Know.

Important Note: I highly suggest you double check anything that ChatGPT recommends or tells you, including asking for links for any claims it makes regarding studies.

Usually when someone thinks that something is “ready for test”, they are probably referring to something that is almost complete but you are just looking for a sign-off from a tester/QA.

Before I dive in, I want to point out that creating an environment of psychological safety is everyone’s responsibility.

You might have heard of “shift left” when it comes to testing.

I’ve previously written about software testing job sites, but I wanted to take the opportunity to dive a bit deeper into how to find a role as a software tester.

In one of my past YouTube videos, someone asked me to create a video on staying motivated as a tester.

These are my notes from Ard Kramer’s talk, How to Nudge Your Way Through Agile Testing at SANAE Beer Ex.

I’ve had the honour of speaking at a fair number of conferences and I like to think I’ve learned a thing or two in the process.

This is the accompanying blog post to my YouTube video here.

I started my testing career over 10 years ago and have spent a fair of that time networking with people in real life at meet-ups and conferences.

Here is a collection of free software testing programmes that I am aware of.

By day Vernon Richards is a Senior Expert Quality Engineer at Ada Health, by night he is a quality coach.

In my previous blog post, I wrote about investing in yourself and how it can help your career.

My Upcoming Conference Talk In September I’ll be giving a new talk, Invest in Yourself, at two conferences.

When a software tester asks me “Should I learn test automation?”

I’ve often been asked if I know of any open source projects people can contribute to.

Like a lot of people, I stumbled across software testing as a career path.

In this post, I’ll share three things that have helped me in my testing career as part of Ministry of Testing’s Bloggers Club.

Having graduated in sinology, Lisi fell into agile and testing in 2009 and has been infected with the agile bug ever since.

In this blog post, I will share a step by step guide on how to get started with blogging as a software tester.

I remember when I first came across a really good public speaker.

A bit over a month ago, I took part in The Test Chat’s #21days21tips challenge.

Ajay Balamurugadas, goes by the handle ‘ajay184f’ in the testing community and is continuously re-inventing his testing methodology.

Laveena Ramchandani is an experienced Testing Consultant with a comprehensive understanding of tools available for software testing and analysis.

Throughout my career, I’ve heard others say that quality should be a team effort.
