Welcome to the 107th issue!

This week, I want to share with you two amazing community-driven projects that I've recently discovered:

  1. A community-driven testing course led by Diogo Nunes.
  2. Proper Android UI Testing Cookbook led by Alexey Bykov and his colleagues.

It's great to see such initiatives and I truly hope they'll help you out.

Happy testing!
