Welcome to another episode of the Testing Peers. The Awesome foursome back together again with the topic of fighting fires and some of the additional effort that is needed when it is all hitting the fan.Chris starts off the banter with asking us about memes we may use in the workplace, we have everything from Homer Simpson, Bryan Danielson, Barney Stinson and Mr Bean.We then dive into the main topic and Chris kicks us off with an story of his time testing games with the bugs not being prioritised and issues being left unfixed. Russell talks about a time when the release date was before the time testing was due to finish. Simon then covers examples of defects found in production and the varying ways in which these can be approached. David mentions an example when a Senior leader highlighted a bug which immediately caused a panic even though it ends up being human error.The Peers then go on to talk about how to work through the fires without causing panic and getting better collaboration at all times. Russell refers to Heather Reid's Testbash 2023 talk - https://www.ministryoftesting.com/testbash-talks/9a60cbd8 What fires have you had to put out recently? How did you do it?

Hallo zusammen! Das Thema, das sich Michael und Thomas heute vornehmen, ist breiter und … eigentlich sind es zwei. Fan-Service beschreibt, wenn Medienmacher Dinge tun, die ausschließlich und im Selbstzweck darauf ausgelegt sind, die Fanbasis zu unterhalten. Fan Entitlement beschreibt, wenn Fans aus ihrer Treue einem Medium gegenüber ableiten, eine stärkere Deutungshoheit darüber zu haben als die Macher. Und das komplette Spannungsfeld zwischen beiden Punkten – das ist heute Thema. Darüber hinaus gibt es einen ganzen Sack Themen vor dem Thema, die Medienschau, den mittlerweile üblichen Crowdfunding-Rundumschlag und selbstredend weiterführende Links und Timecodes in den Shownotes.

Yo listeners! Another conference means another live episode, as we join you from backstage at TestBash Philadelphia, to talk about Rocky, the only film that we could realistically talk about (despite special guest Keith Klain's best attempts to pitch ludicrous alternatives). In an episode which isn't sponsored by Ministry of Testing (despite how much it might seem like it is), we discuss some of our favourite TestBash talks, demonstrate some terrible impressions, discuss what the film can teach us about coaching and self-actualisation, and are yet again confounded by inappropriate male advances in movies. We also name-checked a whole load of conference speakers and organisers, whose Twitter accounts are linked here: Gene Gottimer, Christine McGarry, Kim Knup, Ash Coleman, Sarah Deery, Kate Paulk, Jenny Bramble, Emma Keavney, Gwen Diagram References: Keith Klain's website and podcast - QualityRemarks.com Ministry of Testing Dojo Twitter: #testbash feed from TestBash Philadelphia Jim's Steaks YouTube: Family Guy - Rocky Montage YouTube: Team America - Montage YouTube: Dodgeball: The five rules of dodgeball YouTube: All the montages from Rocky I-VI YouTube: Bill Conti - Opening score from For Your Eyes Only YouTube: Rocky Jumped A Park Bench (sightseeing tour) YouTube: On Her Majesty's Secret Service - Steadicam ski scene Wikipedia: Amerigo Vespucci The Inquirer: The tragic title fight that changed boxing (Ray Mancini v Kim Duk-Koo) The Independent: The night Michael Watson's career was ended (fight with Chris Eubank) Testers' Island Discs YouTube trailers for films and TV shows mentioned: The Wire (season 2) Luther (season 1) Detroit Back to School Happy Gilmore The Wedding Singer 50 First Dates Punch Drunk Love Billy Madison 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea Batman TV series: Burgess Meredith as The Penguin Clash Of The Titans Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story The Karate Kid Stop!
