What could you share today? [An illustration of a bespectacled orange monster creature. It's reading a newspaper. The text "your weekly testing news" is displayed alongside the Ministry of Testing logo.]( Issue 436 | Monday 7th August 2023 | [View Online →]( Sharing sparks ideas and interests. I see a lot of people sharing right now. They share ideas, advice, experience, questions, thoughts, demos, discussions, kudos and more. It's powerful stuff. For those that share, thank you. We acknowledge the effort you put in and the conversations you spark. We acknowledge how you're moving the testing craft forward. And for sure we must acknowledge that a high majority of us aren't sharing. Maybe there's a small thing you could do to dip your toe into the power of sharing. Zero pressure at all yet something to ponder. 🤔 I enjoyed Ben Dowen sharing [the blog posts he'd like to write about testing](. And there's [Lee Marshall live streaming exploratory testing sessions](. How cool! Melissa Fisher asked a brilliant question that sparked many helpful replies: [If you could give one tip to a software testing professional, what would it be and why?]( You'll [discover an abundance of sharing at TestBash UK this September](.

[How about reviewing some abstracts for TestBash Autumn?]( It's a good feeling to offer feedback to fellow testers. 😌 Plus it's also a great way to get a sneak peek into important topics and perhaps they spark something in you to share. ⚡️ 🙋🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️ Join the conversation - [What is the most lucrative testing specialization for your wallet?]( 🌶️ - [Do you have experience implementing the Test Maturity Model?]( asks Charlotte - The [Specialist vs Generalist]( conversation continues - [What resources can you share about micro-front-end testing?]( - Mark would like to know, [what do you like to add to a plan?]( - [How are you reacting to the AI explosion of tools?]( - [How do you test a date rollback?]( - [More thoughts on the role of Test Managers]( - Can you help Venkatesh [debug an issue with Cucumber, Selenium (4.6 version) and multi-threaded mode?]( Have a good week. — Simon, CommunityBoss P.S.
