Quare MeetCast Adam Matlacz

This is another topic that touches on a very important issue. Each of my guests mentioned diversity, so it's to talk about diversity's influence on our work. For years IT was dominated by men, but this trend is changing. In tasks where the main requirement is your creativity, technical skills, and ability to cooperate - your gender, skin color, or disability do not matter.
On the contrary - creating a diverse environment might positively impact your work. Let us see how we can improve our work by bringing to a table our differences!

This was the last MeetCast this year! And to finish with a bang, I had a pleasure to host testing experts from two different timezones!

Exploratory Testing Reclaimed!

Together with Maaret Pyhäjärvi and Anne-Marie Charrett, we asked ourselves questions about what are exploratory tests? How to do them better? And how to teach others the art of exploration?

This and much more you will find in this episode!

This was our sixth Quare MeetCast! And this time, we hosted two seasoned managers.

Meeting topic:
Estimations. One of the most controversial topics in software development. Some can't imagine doing any project without it; others claim that they are a complete waste of time. We will talk about why do we need estimates? How to use them in projects? Can we live without them? This and many more questions will be tackled during our sixth Quare MeetCast.
