No more Five Blogs

Yesterday I posted ‘Five Blogs’ nr. 3000. A milestone on its own, but for me the moment to say that it was the last one. I did this with pleasure, but things have changed lately. For me the decision to stop with it.

I can recommend the following sites to keep up to date with the blogs about testing in particular
– Software Testing Weekly by Dawid Dylowicz (https://softwaretestingweekly.com/)
– Software Testing Notes by Pritesh Usadadiya (https://softwaretestingnotes.substack.com/)

Kind Regards,
