Projects – Chris Kenst

Explore some of the personal projects I’ve worked on over the years:

Current projects:

2015 to Present
My first experiment with GitHub Pages and Jekyll was to build a simple list of software testing conferences and workshops from around the world. This was a project to scratch my own itch, I wanted to know what I was missing.
An open source, community driven list.
One, if not the, top result when you search for testing conferences. It is used by conference goers and speakers worldwide.
Hundreds receive a monthly email with the latest updates from the site (mostly about which conferences and workshops are upcoming for the month).

2017 to Present
Forked from an existing site. I liked the simplicity of this site so much I now use it as a landing page for my namesake domain.
Built using GitHub Pages, CSS and HTML.

2020 to Present
The site was originated by Cem Kaner to be the original source for the principles of the Context Driven Testing school (later changed to be an approach) of software testing.
I gratefully took over ownership in 2020.

2020 to Present
LAWST or the Los Altos Workshop on Software Testing is a peer workshop and format of peer workshops in software testing.
I gratefully took over ownership in 2020.

2014 to 2020
My first Rails application is a Reading List. I put its code on GitHub and then deployed it to Heroku’s free tier so I could use it as a targeted application for testing and demos.

My first real WordPress site with articles stretching back to 2006. It’s active but slowly being torn down.
I’ve since moved to Journaling as an alternative to personal blogging. I only want to maintain one WordPress site at a time.
