As much as I like writing recap blog posts I’m tired of the way I title them, e.g. early, mid, late + month updates so instead I’ve organized this one as five articles / resources to share (note some of these feature me):

- My Webinar for TestCraft on “Participating in Code Reviews” as Tester went well. If you are interested the slides + materials are [available online here](https://github.com/ckenst/tester-code-reviews-webinar?ref=kenst.com). When a copy of the recording is available I’ll send an email to my mailing list. [Have you joined yet](https://kenst.us11.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=2a811daec24cc97909dfdf01d&id=154c3d691b&ref=kenst.com)?
- A little over two weeks ago I was on Joe Colantonio’s [TestTalks podcast](https://www.joecolantonio.com/testtalks/253-chris-kenst/?ref=kenst.com). It was a lot of fun and I’d ask you to listen if you have the chance. Speaking of podcasts, I’d love to do another some day, got any suggestions?
- The Association for Software Testing’s elections are coming up. Want to be a board member? [Learn more](https://www.associationforsoftwaretesting.org/2019-2020-ast-board-nominations-open/?ref=kenst.com).
- I’ve been using Dash for macOS for a few months now and I’m really enjoying having both local copies of documentation (for JavaScript, iTerm, Git, etc) and having a text expander. [Check it out](https://kapeli.com/dash?ref=kenst.com).
- Recently it was brought to my attention that in the book [Accelerate by Nicole Forsgren, Jez Humble and Gene Kim](https://www.amazon.com/Accelerate-Software-Performing-Technology-Organizations/dp/1942788339?ref=kenst.com) there is a section on Test Automation. In this section high performance is related to having reliable automated tests, created and maintained by developers that run regularly. ” It’s interesting to note that having automated tests primarily created and maintained either by QA or an outsourced party is not correlated with IT performance.”  
  - Food for thought for sure.
  - Now I need to re-read the whole book and see what other tidbits I might have missed.
  - I highly recommend the book
