Do You Test Feature Removal?
Hello,
Maaike Brinkhof gave an outstanding talk during TestBash Home, which most of us could relate to. During and after her talk, some of you mentioned that you’d taken Maaike’s course and really recommended it. So if you’re interested in understanding your own cognitive biases and how you can use them to your advantage while testing, check out Maaike’s course Cognitive Biases.
