Welcome to the 108th issue!

Do you know How They Test?

It's an amazing collection of the best resources about how various companies approach quality and testing.

And it's massive!

Some of the early subscribers of this newsletter may remember me sharing it already back in 2020.

But it's one of these dynamically growing projects that are worth highlighting once in a while.

And since the last mention, it's grown a lot.

Kudos to Abhijeet Vaikar for curating it.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Happy testing! 👋
