How to expense the Good Enough Testing Workshop.

The Good Enough Testing Workshop helps you become more productive at work, improves the quality of your code, and reduces the number of bugs experienced by the end-user. Your clients, your organisation, and your colleagues benefit from this.
You should ask your company to pay for the workshop.

Here are some guiding steps to follow: โ†“

1. Notify your manager

Find your manager and send them this message:

Hey ๐Ÿ‘‹! I found a workshop that helps developers improve their testing skills, not just their test coverage. It focuses on designing better tests that cover more features with less test cases. I think it would help me ship more reliable features and build more trust with users and clients. Can I send you the details?

2. Email your manager

Hey ๐Ÿ‘‹!

I found a workshop called Good Enough Testing thatโ€™s focused on helping developers build practical testing skills not just writing tests, but learning how to test smarter.

Itโ€™s built around test design techniques that help you cover the right risks with the fewest possible tests. That means:

  • - Faster development cycles (less time debugging, less time stuck in review)
  • - More confidence in what we ship
  • - Fewer bugs making it to production
  • - Less time maintaining bloated test suites
  • - Better alignment across the team on what โ€œenoughโ€ testing looks like

I think this kind of learning is especially valuable for us it helps the product team move faster without increasing risk, supports engineering quality at scale, and ultimately means happier users and fewer incidents.

Iโ€™d love to join if itโ€™s possible can I send over the details?

Hey,

Just checking in on the workshop I mentioned
https://goodenoughtesting.com.

I genuinely think it could help us move faster and with more confidence, especially when it comes to reducing test maintenance and making our code reviews faster.

Let me know what you think when you get a chance.
