Most QA engineers spend days (sometimes weeks) just setting up test environments. 🕒 By the time everything’s ready, the product’s already changed. What if setup was instant? That’s exactly what this webinar covers. You’ll see how AI can instantly understand your Playwright project, identify test cases, and generate stable, production-ready tests in minutes. Plus, you’ll learn how to integrate them directly into your CI/CD workflow without rewriting your existing setup. Join our webinar with Tal Barmeir, Sapnesh Naik, and Rebecca Villalba from BlinqIO. 👇👇👇 https://lnkd.in/eT8AKgwN #ai #multilingual #testing #qa #blinqio #autonomous #ttm #aitestengineer #vibetesting #aitesting #softwaretesting #TestGuildWebinar #WorkWithTestGuild

And that's a win when you're trying to get beneficial therapies to patients who need them.

😱 “Can QA just quickly approve this?” In their minds, QA is a straight line: ➡️ Send document ➡️ Get approval ➡️ Move on Nice. Simple. And completely fictional. Because the real QA path isn’t a straight shot from A to B. It’s a series of well considered steps. i Before anything gets the seal of approval from QA, someone has already mentally walked through a whole chain of questions: 🤔 What is this really changing, and why now? 🤔 What does this touch — process, equipment, risk, training, validation, suppliers? 🤔 Does this clash with an existing SOP, WI, or form somewhere else in the system? 🤔 If an auditor asks “show me the story behind this,” will the evidence make sense? We’re not “being difficult.” We’re just trying to make sure today’s quick win doesn’t become tomorrow’s deviation, recall, or regulatory slip up. Good QA work can often appear invisible because the bad thing… never happens. No batch failure. No deviation. No “how did this get approved?” email. No warning letters. Just a quiet system that keeps functioning, safely, for patients and for the business. So when somebody says, “Can you just quickly approve this?”, we chuckle. Not because it’s really that funny. No, (it’s really not very funny.) But because the contrast between the straight line in their head and the reality of the carefully connected line QA is drawing is, let’s say… striking. Yes, it’s not as simple as a single straight line. But it’s this line that connects today’s shortcut to tomorrow’s consequence. It’s this line that chooses patient safety and long-term quality instead of quick wins. 💭 What’s one thing you wish people knew about what it really takes for QA to approve something? Share it below and help demystify that squiggly line 👇

Access issues don’t start big - they start with small gaps. A role that wasn’t cleaned up. A permission that no one reviewed. An account that stayed active longer than it should. Over time, these gaps become risk, confusion, and audit pressure. Zen & Art helps teams run identity operations with clarity - clean provisioning, timely deprovisioning, role hygiene, access reviews, and workflows that keep identity simple and controlled. Good identity ops protect the business long before security tools come into play. Strengthen your access operations: https://zenart.com/ #IAM #AccessManagement #IdentityOps #ZenAndArt

If employers and job postings list positions as "QA TESTER" or "QA-something" and then their job descriptions require programming in multiple languages, developing frameworks, and a Bachelor's degree, you're not looking for a "QA" person. You're looking for a DevQA or DevOps Engineer or even another Dev/Programmer. Been seeing too many job listings for a QA person, and then the requirements are a mirror for someone who would be applying as a Full-stack Dev or Engineer.

Here's a QA tip I learned from a former boss: the 10% rule. If you're installing 5,000 cables and pulling 200/day, inspect 20 runs daily. If you find a defect, inspect another 10% until you find no more mistakes. Document everything. Standardize your inspection form to eliminate bias. Pictures are essential. This ensures consistency and accountability throughout the project. #cbrcdd #rcdd #wiremonkey #BICSI

If you’ve ever worked in QA or Cybersecurity, you know how easy it is to get caught up in pointing out what’s wrong. ❌ “This doesn’t work.” ❌ “This feature is broken.” ❌ “That’s a security risk.” We’ve all done it. But after a while, you realize—just finding problems isn’t enough. ✅ In QA, spotting a bug is step one. But where is the real value? ✅ Reproducing it. Logging it clearly. Offering insights that help devs fix it faster. ✅ In Cybersecurity, flagging a vulnerability matters. But helping the team understand the risk and mitigate it effectively—that’s the part that protects the business. It’s not about being the loudest critic in the room. It’s about being the one who moves the needle. #QA #Cybersecurity #QualityAssurance #SoftwareTesting #SecurityTesting

Software testing comes with its fair share of misconceptions. In this video Danny, our tester, shares three common QA myths from his perspective and why the reality of testing is often different. Sometimes the most interesting insights come directly from the people doing the testing. Which QA myth have you heard the most?
