Sketchnote of "Unlearning A.I." by Pradeep Soundararajan at Agile Testing Days 2025 Sketch figure with speech bubble: "I've seen a lot and done enough in this industry to feel old - and bored" I am tired. The same thing is being said over and over again, by the same speakers. I am surprised. People still listen to the same. I am disappointed. "AI" is a marketing layer - on all products. No true innovation. I stopped learning - just can't anymore You ask too many "How?" - it's a valid question, yet beforehand comes the "why?" You have jobligations - some are just pleasing people You are solving problems already solved You are learning too much You are going too fast - no time to relax and see things in a profound way AI is learning you faster than you're learning it - we're giving away sensitive data Insight, framed: AI is a rich person's toy - built by billionaires - we're all pawns in their game Whatever is happening with AI happened with Covid too - lack of hygiene, confusion AI works when expert is in the loop AI is not a tool to use other tools Insight, circled like a cloud: Unlearn the way people expose something to you so that you can give yourself a fresh perspective to it Sketchnote author: @lisihocke@mastodon.social

Sketchnote of "Dark OSINT: I know where you live" by Kristof Van Kriekingen at Agile Testing Days 2025 Sketch figure with speech bubble: "OSINT focuses on publicly available and legally obtainable information" It takes no time to find information on someone Insight, circled like a cloud: "Sock puppets are fake online profiles - for protection and to view more content" Google dorks reveal a lot of information: backups, configs, logins, pen tests, salaries, secrets, ... Face search engine e.g. PimEyes Insight, circled like an explosion: Your life is online Even if you're careful, others share information about you Two photos were enough to get a musician found, robbed and killed Username searches can reveal other accounts Human recon, but also corporate recon Don't use your business email for fun accounts Breached data on dark web forums for sale You can access the dark web using Tor - start with the hidden wiki Caution: it's not a happy place Insight, circled like a cloud: Dark web and OSINT? Hunt pedophiles, find missing people We gather intelligence, not evidence and report to authorities: location, photo of hands to get fingerprints Insight, framed: beware of what you share online Sketchnote author: @lisihocke@mastodon.social

Sketchnote of "How Accessibility is Security" by Ina Tsvetkova and Jaunita Flessas at Agile Testing Days 2025 Two sketch figures with speech bubble: "People tend to think accessibility is only for disabled folks - yet we live in a world of accommodations. Like chairs, lights, etc." Accessibility and security share a common goal: protecting users: from being excluded, from external threats Insight, circled like a cloud: If security measures are not accessible they fail MFA assumes you even have a second device Captchas are not accessible for blind users Challenges are tricky for cognitive impairments What if you don't have fingerprints? The European Accessibility Act requires accessible authentication Insight, framed: If you don't provide alternatives you're locking out a whole group of people People with disabilities are often targets in frauds They often have to trust others We all face disabilities Security often fails to take into account user difference Insight, circled like a cloud: Accessible security principles, list of five points: 1. Accessibility for all 2. Privacy by default 3. Inclusive authentication 4. Cognitive load reduction 5. Equal recovery and revocation Insight, framed: Let's make things secure by inclusion Sketchnote author: @lisihocke@mastodon.social

Sketchnote of "Orchestrating Chaos Into a Symphony" by Rachel Kibler at Agile Testing Days 2025 Sketch figure with speech bubble: "Finding clarity in chaos is hard" We need to listen through the noise to find alignment - applies to orchestras and software When I started a new job, I found the place in chaos There's no villain in this story - everyone was doing their part Insight, circled like a cloud: System: a set of organized and interconnected elements that follow specific behaviors to achieve a certain outcome or goal In systems, the wrong length of feedback loops can lead to oscillations If feedback in testing comes too early people might panic - too late and you can't do anything anymore Communication is crucial to bring clarity into chaos Insight, framed: Summarize up. Expand across and down. People used the same language to mean the same? No, very different things - needed to visualize to realize it Give people the level of information they need to make decisions Clarity brings calm Care deeply Insight, circled like a cloud: Empathy and compassion help us build stronger teams and better products Musicians don't play louder to be heart - they listen better Quality is about protecting trust Harmony comes from awareness, clarity and care Insight, framed: Making good software isn't magic - it's disciplined listening Sketchnote author: @lisihocke@mastodon.social

Sketchnote of "Air Fryers, Automation, and AI" by Angie Jones at Agile Testing Days 2025 Sketch figure with speech bubble: "We moved from survival cooking to enjoying, and now with fryers it had become more precise and efficient" We're automating more and worrying less about mechanics Chefs had to adapt to new techniques - they knew tools don't replace them but enhance their skills and push their craft further Less effort, better results With new things, fear, uncertainty and doubt arises - we can either panic or adapt and push what our tools can do Thanks to MCPs, agents can interact with tools now and do more Insight, circled like a cloud: MCPs now make these tools available and usable for everyone - in natural language We still need to check our work - our name is on it! Sketch figure with speech bubble: "I have a cookbook with recipes for you" List of nine points: Modernize your tech stack Migrate design pattern Apply clean coding principles Add test IDs as locators Run relevant tests on PR Triage tests Catch errors with BiDi Analyze weak areas Auto-write tests on PR Insight, framed: You've got upgraded tools - consider how to apply them at your jobs Sketchnote author: @lisihocke@mastodon.social

Sketchnote of "The Agentic AI World is Already Here... Are You Ready?" by Martin Hynie at Agile Testing Days 2025 Sketch figure with speech bubble: "I have no idea what's going on on the machine learning side of our company... got transferred and ChatGPT came out" How do we even test that? "Let's throw ChatGPT at it and see what it does" - terrifying Come up with a testing strategy - but for what? What are the sorts of biases that come into it? The LLM would defer information Built a risk map Guardrails were often too restrictive "Just give us a test plan" - but we're just playing around People want to see something to increased their confidence Insight, circled like a cloud: We're often rather an uncertainty coach - offering a sense of calm" We depended on prompt engineering to augment capabilities LLM gave horrible response - shut down quickly Built tool to evaluate LLM Partnered up with legal - worked surprisingly well - worries LLM made something up, misleading Insight, circled like a cloud: "Hallucination" is such a misnomer - it's statistical interpretation of the prompt, confabulation Used automation to detect those conversations a human needs to look at Discovered another team building the same solution... you need to advocate for your work Insight, framed: Ask better questions. Design for observability. Split systems into the slides. Sketchnote author: @lisihocke@mastodon.social

Sketchnote of "Testing Transparently" by Elizabeth Zagroba and James Lyndsay at Agile Testing Days 2025 Two sketch figures in front of a laptop with speech bubbles: "With two people you may discover new paths" - "Let's test this together transparently" Practice app to generate crosswords Voicing what they want to do and what they do What you responding to? Observing oddities I wonder if we would have a smaller grid... If we do this, I'm expecting that... Oh! It did something surprising Oh, I don't like that... Notes: good things, questionable things, hopes and dreams Voicing hypotheses and testing them Would users want this? Asking the audience we found even more excitingly weird things We can use tools to explore! Bookmarklet to populate and generate grids, DevTools to check test coverage Insight, circled like a cloud: You can build and ask for tools As we're exploring we're developing judgment what success looks like Insight, circled like a cloud: Exploratory testing can uncover a lot. Collaborating is fun and effective. Show your work publicly and openly. Insight, framed: New paths need new people Sketchnote author: @lisihocke@mastodon.social

Sketchnote of "Simplify to Amplify: How Slow Living Enriched My Soul" by Santhosh Tuppad at Agile Testing Days 2025 Sketch figure with speech bubble: "Everyone has their own definition of slow living" This is my own story I am many things - but above all I am human and that is enough My slow living is about harmony with people and life myself I'm living without constantly checking the clock Eating and drinking slowly without guilt or apology Working with mindful intention rather than urgency I listen to my heart Sketch figure with speech bubble: "It is the simplicity of doing less but being fully present in what I do" I thought testing and hacking is my passion - but life itself is Insight, circled like a cloud: When we constantly ruminate - when do we live our life? Slow living means I don't get anxious, I'm in the moment I don't punish myself if things don't happen I live entirely by the heart: no fixed routines, just the dance of life in each passing moment No regret, no obligation Moving at my own pace, I flow with life I don't want to make money, I want to live a fulfilled life If tomorrow I choose differently and I vibrate with that, I will follow that This is what I do - if you have to care for someone it might be different Insight, framed: I am making a choice with my lifestyle Sketchnote author: @lisihocke@mastodon.social
