About Weekend Testing.

Weekend Testing is an initiative started by four passionate software testers way back in 2009. It spread like a wild fire and soon we had chapters in Europe, Americas, Australia and New Zealand. The main focus was on practicing skilled software testing in a fail-safe environment. It went smoothly till 2018 and then due to multiple reasons, it was conducted on and off. With the revamp of website, we are back with a rigour. This initiative is needed now more than before as we deal with the blind acceptance of GenAI by a certain section of testing community. We believe that GenAI, Automation is useful to enhance, augment, build on strong testing skills. Weekend Testing focuses on key testing skills like the ones listed below.
