Welcome to the 47th issue!

2020 is coming to an end but there are still some (mostly free) testing events planned for the last month of the year which I find interesting.

Firstly, Yogesh Khairnar shared what upcoming testing events he's recommending to attend.

Secondly, Enrique A Decoss and others are organising a free Super Reads @ 12.12 event where 12 authors will write unique articles sharing their experiences on various topics.

And lastly, I always recommend Software Testing Conferences site for staying up to date.

Now, enjoy the news!
