Testing Peers
Testing Peers is a growing community of ~60 peers in testing, software quality, agility, test leadership, engineering management, and broader software development. We’re united by a shared goal: to drive quality in everything we do within our workplaces and beyond. Through collaboration, accountability, and mutual support, we strive to elevate one another both professionally and personally.
The Testing Peers podcast is now expanding beyond its original four hosts, David Maynard, Chris Armstrong, Russell Craxford and Simon Prior, striving to represent the voices of a diverse and thriving community. Our inaugural in-person conference, PeersCon, launched in Nottingham in March 2024 and will return in March 2025, further solidifying Testing Peers as a not-for-profit, by testers, for testers initiative.

Being Not Doing - #PeersCon24 Programme Theme
Welcome to another episode of the Testing Peers podcast.
This time, join Chris, David, Vernon and Russell as they discuss the topic of 'being not doing', the theme for the Testing Peers Conference #PeersCon, on March 14th 2024.

After breaks the ice asking us 'where is your favourite place to be?' we jump into what we mean with being not doing.
The conversation opens with Chris talking about 'being agile, rather than just doing agile', 'being a tester, rather than just doing testing'.
The Peers delve further into the topic with many questions to better define it covering intrinsic motivations, what defines you, what is transactional.
We look at how tiring it can to 'be all in' very often, the challenges in leadership around this area.
How this may be represented in our day to day and how can we move from doing to being? Is it more conscious?
Take a listen and let us know what you think. What does being mean to you? Do you have an idea around this theme to answer the call to contribute to #PeersCon? Would you like to be a 'VolunPeer'?
