A curated collection of publicly available resources on how software companies around the world test their software systems and build their quality culture.
How They Test is a curated collection of publicly available resources that reveal how software companies test their software and build their quality culture. It aggregates articles, blog posts, videos, and documentation from hundreds of companies to provide insights into testing methodologies, automation strategies, and organizational approaches to quality. The project solves the problem of dispersed knowledge by creating a single repository for learning from real-world industry practices.
Software testers, quality assurance engineers, developers, engineering managers, and anyone interested in understanding how leading tech companies approach software testing and quality engineering. It's particularly valuable for teams looking to improve their own testing practices and culture.
Developers choose How They Test because it provides direct access to authentic, company-published testing resources that would otherwise require extensive research to find. Unlike generic testing guides, it offers concrete examples from production environments at scale, making it a unique reference for practical quality engineering insights.
