Over the past two weeks I hosted the European Chapter of WeekendTesting. The two missions were EWT39 – Optical Recognition and EWT40-Mission impossible.

The first question someone would ask is “Why?” Well, because a Weekend Testing session can provide several nice stuff that usually is not present (or not in the same way) as in a real job:

-you can just not participate (but this “free will” increases the chances of enjoying it and get something productive from it)

-usually there are simple applications to understand for all – and from this what remains is the way to develop an approach to test it

-its a way to spend time (maybe not the best, but not the worst)

-you can risk with stuff you cannot risk at work – like following the curiosity for an approach

-get others to know you (usually the after reports include mentions to your name – website links if you are easy to be found )

and many other stuff

Anyone is welcomed to participate and this is possible by:

- Looking on the WeekendTesting website, usually the announcements are here for the new sessions

- adding on Skype the username  “europetesters” in your list

- sending an email at europetesters@googlemail.com

- following @europetesters on twitter
