It is always good to see things with you are attached grow immensely. It gives pleasure when you see the growth in front of you, whether you are a directly attached to it or not. WeekendTesting is ONE such that has spread and grown over the period of time. The credit lies with the people who started the initiative, the contributors for their feedback, and of course the vast majority of testers who made it that large.
The day I see that this will be a 50th Weekend Testing session, I decided to myself that I am going to join it, even if I will be a part of for few minutes/hours. I have been to such session when the number was still a single digit number. From there it has vastly improvised, spread the spark across other territories and the work is not done yet, it will still go on. It has helped many people in a way to enjoy these sessions, learn from them, share their ideas, and of course beware of the traps! :) I don't remember exactly how many sessions I have attended or been a part of it, what I remember is I had a great time every time and I learned something new each time.
Now, here I am not going in the details of the session/mission as that information can be find out at the site itself. During the session one interesting thing was mentioned by Erkan Yilmaz about is it possible to see what worked/what not worked/and of course the point that can still be improved [in short the brief overview of the journey so far for Weekend Testing]. I liked the idea very much but it is hard though to look way back and see where we are standing now! If Weekend Testing can really sum up the idea or provide the summarized version through their site, it would be really an insightful. Keep in mind that it requires lots of efforts though!
On a closure note it was again reviving moment for me to interact with so many testers/listen to them/share ideas/discuss and at times argue [not really]. I had a great time attending the session, sorry 50th Weekend Testing session. :) I know there is still long way to go and I will try my best to be part of these sessions on regular basis but then you don't have to ask for permission when you are a part of the family, do you?
Now I am waiting for another milestone, well not really, as that is bound to happen!
Best Regards,
Amit
