My journey at @agiletdzone.bsky.social is over for this year. It ended with a panel on AI with Tariq and Rahul. It was great to see many existing from this and on other #testing events, and new friends to add to that list. Thank you all and wish y'all a safe return back home!

Going over different #testing techniques with @mkutz.bsky.social and Janina Nemec, to remember that there is much more than checking just one example or two as seen in many test automation scripts code. Ways to augment our testing!
