Weekend Testing is an initiative started by four passionate software testers way back in 2009. It spread like a wildfire 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 the website, we are back with a rigor. This initiative is needed now more than before as we deal with the blind acceptance of GenAI by a certain section of the testing community. We believe that GenAI and Automation is useful to enhance, augment, build on strong testing skills. Weekend Testing focuses on key testing skills like the ones listed below.

Announcements about upcoming sessions are published on weekendtesting.com and Twitter. You can register yourself for the session there. The session happens on Skype chat.
The facilitator is available for queries during that hour, just in case testers get stuck. The facilitator may have set some traps without the testers’ knowledge. Once the testers begin testing, the facilitator reminds them to stick to the mission and avoid traps and diversions.
Testers assemble on a Skype group chat at a specified time. The facilitator for that session provides the product download details and mission to test and sets a time limit of one hour.
At the end of the hour, testers stop testing and participate in the discussion session for the next hour. This is a debriefing session in which testers share their experiences, challenges, bugs found, traps that they failed to clear, and many other items.
This time also includes discussing the product, mission, test strategies, tools used, etc. Many times, testers learn from other testers about new test ideas, tools, and strategies.
Later, the entire chat transcript is uploaded to the website weekendtesting.com along with any test reports or artifacts generated.
Weekend Testing is a global initiative for software testers to practice their testing skills in a fail-safe environment on the weekends with passionate testers from across the globe.
