And the final instalment of our tiny #CAST2022 summary comes from Dawn Haynes's Death to Test Cases!
Do you use test cases? What could be better? When? How? Why? In Dawn's workshop we wrote a case, discussed its weaknesses and potential value, then improved on it.
Another snippet of #testing goodness from #CAST2022 with Curtis Pettit's Critical Role: Filling Out Your Character Sheet.
Curtis presented a fresh perspective, using a character sheet inspired by role-playing games to think about our strengths and skills. We had the opportunity to reflect on those, using his thought provoking heuristics.
Another entry in our continuing bitesize #CAST2022 round-up: Twan Koot's workshop, It's all about the money, performance testing and infrastructure costs.
Are we thinking enough about the costs as we build and run our performance tests? Twan shared a multitude of tips - both for how to run scaling scenarios as well as optimising the costs.
Another #CAST2022 mini summary! On day two, Amber Vanderburg told us about Innovation Ninjas.
You want to boost the creativity and collaboration in your team? Then follow Amber's playbook to keep people informed and create safe spaces to have constructive conversations about how everyone feels, and why.
Another bitesize summary from #CAST2022! This time Cindy Lawless' keynote, Making Test Reports Suck Less.
What do you do when asked to report testing status? The whole room tested a triangle and reported about it during Cindy's keynote! No artefact counts and no dumb charts! Summary, coverage, strategy, and risks!
Next up in the bitesize #CAST2022 series is Testing Without Requirements by Ben Simo.
Ben's thinking on requirements has evolved over the years. He gave us a tour of his backstory before inviting us to explore using FEW HICCUPPS to help to identify possible requirements.
The snack-sized #CAST2022 summaries continue with Boris Wrubel's tutorial, Test Automation 101 for Coders.
Would you like to write automated checks as you explore an application and without a framework installed on your machine? Boris gave us useful hacks for jump starting things like a pro!

Another chunk of #CAST2022 summary with Dawn Haynes's Beyond Infinity - A Tester's Dilemma.
How do you decide how to go about designing your tests? What models do you use and what techniques do you rely on? Dawn’s workshop helped solve this dilemma.

Next in our ongoing snack-sized #CAST2022 summaries we have Sergio Riveros's presentation, Testing a website with inclusivity.
Sergio showed us how to review our apps for inclusivity and accessibility. Try turning your monitor display all the way down and do anything on your computer. What does your app look like for those with colour blindness?
