Lena Wiberg's keynote on Living Fearlessly - While Living With Fear at is vulnerable, valuable and a very topical reminder of the importance of psychological safety in our teams.

Gwen Diagram's keynote at on Happiness is Quality was insightful. Great Engineering teams run in Quality, Observability and Communication indeed. Great pointers for Engineering Principles to build a Quality Product & questions to raise to foster a great environment in which to build in. Highlighting metrics to use & ways to bridge common communication gaps. Thanks Gwen & @AgileTDZone!

A social place intended as a chill hangout place for software testers, developers, or just about anyone involved in delivering software and who is interested in both the technical as well as the social side of things.
