Testland - Notes on quality assurance.
A field journal on quality assurance: testing strategy, tooling, and the craft of shipping software that works.
We write about what we actually ship, not what we'd write if the budget for process was infinite. Expect short posts about test pyramids that aren't pyramids anymore, practical contract testing, flakiness that isn't flaky, and the human side of an always-on release pipeline.
