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.

Healthy Workplace Expectations
Welcome, this week, join Russell, David, Chris and special guest host, Vernon Richards as we discuss healthy workplace expectations and if we're normal!
Before diving in, the Peers discuss annoying software from ITV player to MsTeams and banks software, a lot of software seems to annoy us.
Russell introduces the topic, how we balance the pressures we put on on ourselves and other put on us for doing our work.
We talk about increased flexible and multinational companies changing the simple 9-5 now, how we can set expectations and use tools to schedule and work with others. We talk about how we can balance transparency and manage expectations and try to be conscientious of those around us.
Our thanks again to Vernon for joining us, you can find check out his site
