The Weekend Testing session, facilitated by Ajay Balamurugadas, was centered around analyzing and summarizing the CrowdStrike outage that occurred on July 19. The session had only one participant, Jahira Banu, who was tasked with reading a detailed article about the incident and creating a summary within 60 minutes. Jahira was guided to consider various aspects such as the cause of the outage, its impact, and potential preventive measures.

Throughout the session, Ajay emphasized a safe learning environment and encouraged exploration of additional resources. Jahira approached the task by first understanding the context of CrowdStrike, then systematically addressing key points like the nature of the outage, its causes, and the aftermath. She created a structured summary document, and upon reflection, identified areas for improvement, such as adding more details about the outage’s impact.

Ajay provided feedback on her approach and suggested alternative formats for presenting a summary, such as flowcharts or infographics. The session concluded with positive reinforcement and an invitation to future sessions. (Written by AI)
