Dark terminal window with a yellow "good-enough-testing" prompt and three open tabs labeled paths/apps: /opt/homebrew/bin/claude, codex., and Gemini - good-enough-testing.
When working on #goodenoughtesting, I keep three LLM tabs open: Claude, Codex, and Gemini.
I test each prompt against all three to catch where instructions break down. When they disagree, that's where I focus as I want to reliable generate tests.
Adding Amp to the mix soon.
Yesterday I talked with @onurozer.me about the #goodenoughtesting workshop and where to take it next.
One thing became clear: I need to better communicate what problem it solves and for which teams it works best.
Not just build more content, but explain the value more clearly.

Preparing first workshop for an in-house training session for a company about Reliable Test Case Generation with AI, part of #GoodEnoughTesting
This will be about the Test Strategy, a document that will be useful for both agentic AIs and individual contributors
If you're still chasing 100% test coverage, stop.
You're wasting time and still missing the bugs that count.
Axiom 1: You can’t test everything.
Test what breaks trust.
That’s smart testing.
#goodenoughtesting
Testing advice often fails in real projects. I follow these four testing axioms:
1. You can’t test everything.
2. Bugs can't be fully eliminated.
3. Start early.
4. Bias exists.
#GoodEnoughTesting #Testing4Devs
Effective testing isn’t about writing more tests.
It’s about testing what matters and that means understanding risk.
Not all bugs are equal. Not all tests are worth it.
👉 Learn how risk shapes test design
#SoftwareTesting #GoodEnoughTesting
Over half the workshop is booked. Time to finalize details, review exercises, and trim content to allow more discussion.

#GoodEnoughTesting
We sometimes focus on asking “how much should I test?”
Better question: what should I test?
#GoodEnoughTesting = minimum tests that cover what matters.
No guessing. Just thinking clearly about risk + coverage.
Most developers learn RSpec or Minitest. But not what testing actually means.
Testing isn’t just writing tests. It is modeling risk, defining coverage, and thinking critically.
That’s why I built #GoodEnoughTesting @goodenoughtesting.com

Just refactored the 404 and 500 pages of #GoodEnoughTesting website to be a bit more in line with the topic :)
#slow #progress #coding #marketing #pages
I am working this weekend to finalise the content for the upcoming #GoodEnoughTesting workshop:
- I am trimming a lot of the previous content to keep it to only the essential
- Rethinking the code and exercises I previously used

Playing a bit this weekend with Claude Code and various ways to prompt it to generate #goodenoughtesting that I can review before it starts to write wall of test cases.
PS: I work on a new and improved @goodenoughtesting.com workshop. Will announce it soon!

There are still some few places available for the #GoodEnoughTesting workshop happening on Thursday 23 January.
Earlier this week, I finally received "Professional Rails Testing - Tools and Principles" by @jasonswett.bsky.social from Amazon. I can't wait for the winter vacation to have time to dive into it.
I skimmed it and recommended it to participants of my #GoodEnoughTesting workshop yesterday!
#GoodEnoughTesting #Applied #TestCase #Design
I like to apply when possible the test design techniques on real code. Here I reviewed a bit of code from the open source Rails app from @zammadhq and applied a systematic process to extract test cases:
The entire process took me about 30 minutes at most, considering I already had the Open Graph image from a post I published about the #GoodEnoughTesting workshop some time ago. And I used that image for the embedded shoutout.
There are still discounts available for #GoodEnoughTesting Workshops for December and January sessions.
This weekend is your opportunity to enhance your testing skills without breaking the bank.
And a more complete offer for January 2025 when I add followup content via emails designed to reinforce learning through repetition and inspire you with practical applications for each technique.

#GoodEnoughtesting
I invite you to join a 3 hours live online practical workshop that teaches you systematic test design techniques for writing effective and efficient test cases focused on #Ruby and Ruby on #Rails developers.
This is #goodenoughtesting #workshop @GoodEnoughTesting
#GoodEnoughTesting is a practical workshop that will show you a series of test design techniques, providing a systematic and repeatable approach to writing test cases.
#GoodEnoughTesting is fully booked also for the second session in November
Again I am so happy to see so much interesting in this testing workshop for #Ruby developers.
I will soon schedule more workshops in December
I am working on the #GoodEnoughTesting workshop and preparing it for next week, and I just now discovered that Miro has a code block with proper syntax highlighting.
Pretty handy for a workshop - to edit it in place while brainstorming with participants.
I made a short video to explore testing from a developer's perspective.
I highlight some existing definitions of #testing that I find valuable and extract key points relevant to developers.
