For each day of July, there is a new task to do related to the world of testing. At Abstracta, we decided, since we test Monday through Friday anyway, why not join in on the fun? The challenge will ultimately help us to become better testers, which is what we always strive to do.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tasks_and_Schedule_of_the_Testing_Challenge\"><\/span>Tasks and Schedule of the\u00a0Testing Challenge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6783\" src=\"http:\/\/www.abstracta.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/unnamed.png\" alt=\"testing challenge\" width=\"2480\" height=\"3508\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333333;\">When we saw the testing challenge, we said:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333333;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6784\" src=\"http:\/\/www.abstracta.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/challenge-accepted.jpg\" alt=\"challenge accepted\" width=\"320\" height=\"200\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333333;\">So, we printed out dozens of copies of the challenge and hung them all over our offices, encouraging all of our testers to participate. Some of our teams have created groups that want to compete against each other in some (hopefully healthy) competition to amp up the motivation to complete it. Starting today, we will be working on each task every day, tweeting photos of our progress and using the hashtag, #30daysoftesting.
