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 is  again time to have school visits in Finland , too. It is especially nice now that face-to-face meetings are possible, and I don't need to access the school class virtually over a Teams meeting. That works too, yes, with a teacher facilitating in the class, but it is so much nicer and more concrete to meet and teach children face-to-face. I asked for som...

Kari at Podcast Software Testing

Image
Happy New Year 2025! Last autumn, I had the pleasure of being a guest at Richie Seidl's Podcast Software Testing . That was a fantastic experience. He was such a professional podcast host and a fun person to chat with on top of that. Now, I'm happy to share the podcast with you. Listen to it here . We discussed software testing leadership, as I had recently published, with my co-author, Marko Rytkönen, the well-received ACT2LEAD software testing leadership handbook . I introduced a heuristic (or a framework) of leading software testing that suits even the busiest CEO or CTO. The key is to lead the software testing effort actively and have someone like a Head of Testing looking over the testing. The eight letters of the framework are described  https://www.act2lead.net/p/what-is-act-2-lead.html , but here I summarize them to you in "CEO talk". Integrate Testing: Ensure that testing is embedded in every aspect of the development process. Lead the organization to view te...

AI creating Dragons and testing stories

Image
In recent times, it seems like the whole world has gone crazy trying to use Generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). These LLMs (large language models) can create content based on user prompts.  Now I tried the LLM Brave Leo (Mixtral) to create a Dragons Out -like story for me. Although it was just experimental, the results are quite impressive. I used just three prompts. Finally, I tried to get a picture of all this - a fourth prompt. 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...
