It’s been a packed two weeks and I’m catching up on the weekly updates — here is everything that has landed since the last post.
Browsing by topic, not by letter. The glossary just got a new way to navigate. Head over to /topics/ and you will find the terms grouped by theme — testing fundamentals, techniques, test management, security testing, performance testing, and more. Each topic page collects the relevant terms in one view, links every term back to its topic, and connects related topics. This is probably the biggest change to the menu since the site launched: instead of knowing the exact term you are looking for, you can now explore whole areas of the syllabus.
Richer term pages. Twenty of the most-visited terms now carry more than the definition. Take /bug/ or /integration-testing/: each has a worked example, a short FAQ section, and a list of related terms. If you were ever unsure how a concept applies to a real testing situation, the examples should help connect the dots. These enriched pages are also translated into all seventeen languages, and the listings highlight terms with extra content so you can spot them at a glance.
First guest article. I’m happy to share that Cody McBride has contributed an article on communicating IT value to non-technical teams — something every testing professional runs into sooner or later. You can read it over at /articles/. If you have a testing story or insight to share, the call for submissions is still open.
Syllabus links that actually go somewhere. The “Present in sylabi” tags on term pages have always told you which body of knowledge a term belongs to, but the links now point to the actual archived syllabus documents. If you are studying for a certification and want to see the original source, the PDF is a click away.
A handful of smaller improvements also made it in: the term page hero is cleaner after removing a broken citation link, links in the term body are now underlined for readability, and the site’s search-result titles were tuned to describe content more clearly.
More next week — which should arrive on time this time.
