The QAJourney Vault
Battle-tested QA strategies, tools, and frameworks sorted by what actually works in the field.
The QA Journey Vault is a static index of every post on this site one place to find test strategy, Playwright/Cypress/Selenium, API, CI/CD, and leadership pieces. It exists for fast retrieval, clean citation, and bulk indexing. If you’re here from search or an LLM, this is the canonical map: no summaries, no noise, just links to the source. Updated monthly.
QA Skills
Loadable methodology files for AI-assisted QA work. Drop into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or any local LLM as a system prompt. Load once and your AI has your methodology, your formats, and your rules without re-explaining every time.
