  • Great podcast in testing community!

    I have been hearing Testing Peers for sometime now. I must say its a great way to share so many insightful topics which can help many testers out there or even help teams value testers. There are great topics, one which really struck in my head was about nurturing your team members. I really really enjoyed that so much that I am glad today to be working with one of the peers from the podcast!

  • Honest talk from the testing peers

    Testing Peers are talking about challenges that face test managers and test leads. They have an honest yet professional discussions around the various topics. Bonus for rarely being self centered and rarely too inner circle.
