Software testing communities

The forum attached to the largest testing community there is, and one of the few places where a vague question about how to approach something gets a considered answer rather than a link. Reading it is free; posting needs an account.

Unfiltered questions from working testers, including the career ones nobody asks at work: what to charge, when to leave, whether the certification is worth it.

Not a forum, and listed anyway: an unusually high proportion of Playwright questions are already answered in a closed issue, often by a maintainer, often with the reasoning. Search it before asking anywhere else. The Discord link on Playwright's community page is where the open-ended questions go.

The Q&A site for testing practice rather than code. Slower than Reddit, better archived, and the accepted answers tend to be considered.

One email a week with the best testing articles, jobs and tools of that week. Consistently good signal and no filler, which is not the norm for newsletters in this space.

Interviews with automation practitioners, several times a week. Good for the commute, and a reliable way to hear about a tool before it reaches your team.

Longer-form written pieces from working practitioners, edited properly rather than published raw. The counterweight to a diet of blog posts and release notes, and the place where the awkward questions about the profession get argued out at length.
