About Testing Peers

Our story

The Testing Peers concept has come from a WhatsApp chat set up between a small group of passionate testers who wanted to have a network to collaborate with, share ideas, encourage and hold each other accountable.

From this original group, this has developed into a group that has discussions daily in our private Slack channel, building relationships between peers who have similar views on some topics but equally, often opposite opinions which challenge the status quo and help us form stronger views on topics.

We started with a blog that grew into a podcast which has allowed us to share our thoughts and give back to the amazing testing community and beyond as a resource for random ramblings with the occasional gem of useful testing tips. In 2024 we put on a conference for the benefit of the community and our peers, growing from 50 people initially to about 300 people in 2026.
