Hey there,
I’m very happy to be here again in October Software Testing Report to tell you great stories, events happened around the world.
Last month, there’s a reader contacted me and asked me about how much effort for me to prepare such report. Well, it often takes me one or two days to preview and consolidate the news, articles before publishing. I know that that’s considerable amount of time for such a free report. To be honest, I’m not 100% sure how much my monthly testing report provides values to you because I haven’t received much feedback from you.
So if you have any ideas, comments or things to tell, I would love to hear that. Comment right below this post or just send me an email at thanh[at]asktester.com.
Anyway, let’s jump right into this month report.
