How do we plan to do it? Testers meet at a common location in the evening at around 17:45 UK Time with their laptops and energy to test, question, learn, discuss about testing.

Hi All, Are you free? Are you ready to exercise your brain? Are you ready to learn? Are you ready to test? Then join me in exploring the Test Machines by James Lyndsay. Here is an arrangement, testers interested in solving these, which include me as well:-), shall share personal email id’s(send a test mail to sharu.b@gmail.com or post it in the comment), once we have a pool of testers, could be even 2, never particular about the numbers, shall start investigating these interesting puzzles. Warning - these machines may change the way you test! – James Lyndsay Disclaimer: All the blogs shared by me are my ideas, my thought, my understanding of the subject and does not represent any of my employer’s ideas, thought, plans or strategies.
