I’m pondering whether some mini-workshops for testers are feasible for #BrummieTesterMeetup‘s next year.
I had the following in mind. I reckon about 90 mins for each…
- Xmind
- Jmeter
- Soapui
- Fiddler
- Dev tools
- Webdriver
- Jenkins
- Ruby
- Python
- SQL
What do you the testing community think about these as topics? Anyone want to volunteer to come along to Birmingham and deliver one of them?
Update:
Following some further discussions, we have the following lineup more or less confirmed for next year:
| Month | Workshop | Confirmed |
|---|---|---|
| January | JMeter assisted testing - Simon Knight | Yes |
| February | Fiddler assisted testing - Simon Knight | Yes |
| March | Special Guest TBC | in progress... |
| April | SQL for Testers - Ranjit Shringapure | Yes |
| May | testing mobile devices using simulators - Stephen Janaway | in progress... |
| June | Webdriver assisted testing - Richard Bradshaw | Yes |
| July | summer break | N/A |
| August | summer break | N/A |
| September | browser development tool assisted testing - Richard Bradshaw | Yes |
| October | testing for security - Dan Billing | Yes |
| November | testing real mobile devices - Stephen Janaway | in progress... |
| December | Xmas break | N/A |
Many thanks to Ranjit, Stephen, Richard and Dan. Watch out for a special guest announcement soon!
P.S If you're interested in learning more about performance testing, checkout my Performance Testing 101 course here.
I’d love to learn about all of these, some more than others for sure. Ruby, python and jmeter 😀
The best way to learn, is to teach – some say… 😉
How about some mobile ones – things like ‘using simulators’, ‘using browser dev tools’, ‘using real devices’, etc?
Depending on timing, etc then I may be able to help out.
Sounds great!
The list was spur of the moment pretty much, so certainly isn’t definitive. I realised just after posting that ZAProxy would be a good addition too, for example.
I’ll be in touch to line something up anyway.
