Amazing feedback and school visits

Image
 I recently got some  amazing feedback  from a 9-year-old reader through his dad. The Dragons Out book was an exciting Christmas present that the boy started reading on his own. He did the exercises at the end of the chapters and was really thrilled about them ("I did all of those great exercises!"). Upon asking why the book was so thrilling, he answered, "It was a great book because it had true things and fantasy side by side, and the exercises were fun!". It feels so good to hear such feedback - keep it coming! The unique approach of fantasy coupled with testing works. Remember my school visits, earlier?

It didn't work, but I got a description, which I used in a prompt of a picture generation AI, Deep AI.  Did you learn something from the below? I think an LLM can help with quality like this. But the picture was quite disappointing to me. Anyway, I think I'll write my own stuff also in the future and ask Adri for more fantastic illustrations. Me: What is RPG? Brave Leo: RPG stands for "Role-Playing Game." It is a type of game where players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting and engage in activities to develop their ch...

The largest software testing conference annually in Finland, FiSTB Testing Assembly , takes place this year on Nov 27, 2024, and the adjacent tutorial day on "GenAI prompt crafting for quality & testing" by Rik Marselis on Nov 28, 2024. Dragons Out Oy is proud to be a partner for the conference and invites all its customers, partners, and friends to attend the tutorial and the conference days, subject to availability. Those are also great content, and I'd especially recommend Rik's tutorial, which teaches you the new skills that every tester needs to learn this year to succeed in the race with AI. Dragons Out Oy stand at the partner area of the conference will promote the famous Dragons Out software testing featuring dragons&knights books , which I authored. You can also find there the ACT 2 LEAD software testing leadership handbooks , authored by Marko Rytkönen and me. You can buy the books there, get signatures from the authors, and, of course, exchange ide...
