Learning on your own is fun: you have the option to chase a concept until you are satisfied that you fully und...

I fully agree that there isn't a centralized content space for those in the Software Testing / Quality Analyst / Quality Engineer (or SDET) space to learn & grow from. It is a huge gap in our technical information space where individuals currently have to piece mill together solutions by leveraging quick tutorials on how to kickstart test frameworks and/or tools. Then dive into the endless amount of available tutorials around a specific programming language used by the chosen framework or tool. It is a daunting task.
Overall i really like the idea and it gives me a solid direction oh where I will take one of my personal projects.
So if there was a sight available with challenges for those in the software testing spaced, what kinds challenges or tasks would you want to take on?
I had floated this idea on Twitter a bit ago: and suggested that it be made a part of Test Automation U, by Applitools. But that seems to leave out a section of the testing world, just by where it is.
Once I shared this, I had someone share a link to a small app where you could test log-in, so that's next, once I get through the list for this one!
My wish list for these would be:
And the other dozen or so ideas that I will think of once I hit "send" 🛎
Thanks for jotting down your thoughts & ideas. If you have more, please throw them my way.
As I read over your thoughts, it sounds like you are looking for a self-contained hosted web solution for managing the learning engagement. Kind of like a CodeAcademy or other online tutorial based learning sites. Am I right?
How would you feel about a test automation oriented site that can be self hosted [Running in Docker] and all of the Test Automation Challenges & Lessons are on Github? Then you can use the tools of your choice for the creation of your automation learning journey.
Does this really allow the community to learn from each other? There's likely the biggest argument with that.
If you have someone that will assist - or can yourself! - look at codewars.com (you need to do a coding challenge to get in). They have a selection of exercises at various levels.
We are testers - we can decide levels ourselves, but sorting them by topic would help make sure that basic single-focus exercises are in a specific area. As for combining them - I'm not sure how it would work to an advantage.
Great point about not being able to easily leverage the knowledge of others if everything was don't standalone. And I'll take a look at codewars.com this weekend.
Have FUN! That is an interesting site - there are many good people there, doing everything from code golf to "just enough"
For anyone who was following this: we took it to another forum. I still welcome comments!
where's this tweet? I havent seen it
That is because, lady, you are busy! I shall see if I can dig it out of the archives, and tag you with it.
