My Featured Articles
Since 2023–07, Medium has recently restricted access to member-only articles, and most of my articles are for Member-Only (Join before 2023–09–01 to get my two free ebooks). Consequently, my future articles will not be featured in software testing newsletters. I will cease updating this page unless there is a shift in this circumstance. From the below, it’s reasonable to conclude that I hold a prominent position as a leading author in the realm of test automation and CT on the Medium platform. Anyway, if you like my content, join Medium membership (free 2 ebooks before 2023–09–01, using this link).
I started posting articles on Medium on Jan 27, 2021. Many of them have since been featured in the following four leading software testing newsletters (in alphabetical order):
∘ Coding Jag
∘ Software Testing Notes
∘ Software Testing Weekly
∘ Testing Bits (stopped in Oct. 2021)
Feb 2021 — July, 2023:
154 articles in 196 references as below:
