Welcome to the 130th issue! 👋

This week, I stumbled upon a series of articles by Mark Hrynczak on How Atlassian does QA.

Here's one of the excerpts I found interesting:

We evolved this over time by keeping the ratio of testers:developers low – not because of resource constraints, but to force the “whole team” mentality when it comes to quality.

This immediately reminded me of this wonderful resource — How They Test by Abhijeet Vaikar.

It's the third time I mention it here, and for a good reason! Check for yourself.

Happy testing!
