Summary: <p>This week we're joined by Mark Winteringham, co-creator of both the Software Testing Clinic and Automation in Testing, for a conversation about the aforementioned initiatives and much more besides. On an epically hot day, Neil and Mark talk about building pathways for learning, optimising delivery for classroom and online training, supporting worldwide franchises, and how to get testing talked about more within universities.</p> <p>Between the discussion are songs which have inspired Mark in the fields of songwriting, experimentation, work-life balance, the Internet of Things, and we get our first a cappella selection.</p> <p>Mark can be reached on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/2bittester" target="_blank">@2bittester</a>.</p> <p><strong>Mark's Links:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.softwaretestingclinic.com/" target="_blank">Software Testing Clinic</a></li> <li><a href="https://automationintesting.com/" target="_blank">Automation in Testing</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ministryoftesting.com/dojo/series/introduction-to-http" target="_blank">Ministry of Testing Dojo course: Introduction To HTTP (by Mark Winteringham)</a></li> <li><a href="https://dojo.ministryoftesting.com/dojo/series/let-s-build-an-api-checking-framework-mark-winteringham" target="_blank">Ministry of Testing Dojo course: Let's Build an API Checking Framework (by Mark Winteringham)</a></li> <li><a href="https://dojo.ministryoftesting.com/dojo/series/the-building-blocks-of-the-internet-mark-winteringham" target="_blank">Ministry of Testing Dojo course: The Building Blocks of the Internet (by Mark Winteringham)</a></li> <li><a href="http://screentesting.libsyn.com/ep-6-swordfish" target="_blank">Screen Testing Ep6: Swordfish (featuring Mark Winteringham)</a></li> <li><a href="https://biases.bandcamp.com" target="_blank">Bandcamp: Biases</a></li> <li><a href="https://thewub.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Bandcamp: The Wub</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.mind.org.uk/" target="_blank">Mind</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/siprior" target="_blank">Twitter: Simon Prior</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.meetup.com/Ministry-of-Testing-Aylesbury/" target="_blank">Meetup.com: Ministry of Testing Aylesbury</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.meetup.com/South-West-Test/events/252873575/" target="_blank">Meetup.com: South West Test #12 with Neil Studd</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/a_bangser" target="_blank">Twitter: Abby Bangser</a></li> <li><a href="https://dojo.ministryoftesting.com/dojo/lessons/communities-of-practice-the-missing-piece-of-your-agile-organisation-emilly-webber" target="_blank">Ministry of Testing Dojo: TestBash 2018: Emily Webber - Communities of Practice, The Missing Piece of Your Agile Organisation</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Upside-Down-Management-Common-Business/dp/0470689455" target="_blank">Amazon: John Timpson - Upside Down Management</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.softwaretestingclinic.com/running-swtc/" target="_blank">Software Testing Clinic: Becoming a Host</a></li> <li> <a href="http://mi.mu">mi.mu</a><a href="https://mimugloves.com/"> Gloves</a> </li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UonH_5-X14k" target="_blank">YouTube: Richard Bradshaw - Automation in Testing (SoftwareTestPro podcast)</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.satisfice.com/blog/rst-info" target="_blank">Satisfice.com: Rapid Software Testing</a></li> <li><a href="https://dojo.ministryoftesting.com/dojo/lessons/automation-in-testing-richard-bradshaw" target="_blank">Ministry of Testing Dojo: TestBash 2015: Automation in Testing</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ministryoftesting.com/events/testbash-manchester-2018" target="_blank">TestBash Manchester 2018</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.mwtestconsultancy.co.uk/" target="_blank">MW Test Consultancy</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.hindsightsoftware.com" target="_blank">Hindsight Software</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Regular Links:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Listen to and subscribe to this podcast on <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/ministry-of-testing/id1046372364?mt=2" target="_blank">iTunes</a> and <a href="https://soundcloud.com/ministryoftesting" target="_blank">SoundCloud</a> </li> <li><a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSff4S2TMvBY-kCH0ILeU0BNykHv7adQJ6izHK7AuDP8XhO5tw/viewform" target="_blank">Sign up to be a guest on the show</a></li> <li><a href="https://open.spotify.com/user/studleyuk/playlist/5bBsHd7Se0ZUtC7penIXPc" target="_blank">Testers' Island Discs playlist on Spotify</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/428032-testers-island-discs---castaway-recommendations" target="_blank">Testers' Island Discs reading list on Goodreads</a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/TestersIsland" target="_blank">Follow us on Twitter</a></li> </ul>
