  • The best podcast in the QA Space

    I’ve been listening to Joe’s podcast for a long time, and I was finally invited to participate as a guest. Joe is fantastic, he is a real professional who knows the theme, and it was a pleasure to discuss existing trends in the software testing space and how AI will change our future.

    If you are an engineer (not only a software developer in test), you will get many insights and learn new things.
