Blogging about software testing has been temporarily interrupted on account of baby related cuteness

Here, I wanted to start a new software testing project for this blog...

Release Date of Project Tiny Human: July 6, 2018 -- Welcome to the World, Tommy!

Project Tiny Human is a success! 

Project Tiny Human has been released to production July 6, 2018!

The initial release date was July 4, 2018, and everything was on track up to the last minute... but you know how dates for production release can slip.

My wife has been acting as Product Owner and Head Developer for the entire project. I have volunteered for daily production and overnight support.

Thomas "Tommy" Edmund Maher was born July 6, 2018 at 2:16 pm to Melissa and T.J. Maher.

Stop Compromising Quality: Setting Automation Up for Success - Angie Jones, Ministry of Testing - Boston

Missed last Wednesday's Ministry of Testing - Boston Meetup, hosted and sponsored by SmartBear? Where Angie Jones, SDET at Twitter, provides metrics that help her decide what to automated at Twitter?

Have no fear! SmartBear live-streamed the conference. It starts at the 52 minute mark.
