Ministry of Testing
The biggest software testing community online - the Club, the Dojo learning platform, and the TestBash conference all live here.
Knowledge Base / External Resources
External Resources I Love
Communities, blogs, podcasts, standards bodies, and research that have genuinely shaped how I think about quality and MedTech - not a generic link dump. Grouped by type so you can jump straight to what's useful.
Testing Communities
Where I go for a straight answer instead of a marketing blog post.
Blogs Worth Following
Long-form thinking from people who've been doing this far longer than me.
DevelopSense (Michael Bolton)
Sharp, sometimes contrarian writing on what testing actually is versus what people assume it is.
Satisfice (James Bach)
Rapid Software Testing methodology, straight from the source - heuristics over checklists.
Angie Jones
Test automation strategy and engineering leadership, written by someone who's shipped both.
Google Testing Blog
How testing actually works at a company operating at Google's scale.
Newsletters
A weekly digest so I don't have to hunt for what matters.
Podcasts
For the commute, or the sprint you'd rather not think about.
Talks & Video
Conference talks I've actually rewatched.
Certifications & Learning
Where I point people who ask "how do I actually get started."
Regulatory & Standards Bodies
The primary sources - I'd rather read the actual guidance than a summary of it.
FDA - Medical Devices
Guidance documents, 510(k) databases, and recalls, straight from the regulator.
ISO
Home of ISO 13485 and ISO 14971 - the quality and risk-management backbone of MedTech work.
IMDRF
International Medical Device Regulators Forum - where global regulatory alignment actually gets negotiated.
Health Canada - Medical Devices
Licensing and safety guidance for the regulatory environment I work in most directly.
MedTech & Regulatory News
For when the standards themselves move slower than the industry news about them.
Accessibility Resources
The references I actually cite when arguing for an accessibility fix.
W3C Web Accessibility Initiative
The source of WCAG itself - if there's a dispute about what a criterion means, this settles it.
WebAIM
Plain-language WCAG explanations, plus the contrast checker and WAVE tool I use constantly.
The A11y Project
Community-maintained accessibility checklist and patterns - practical, not theoretical.
Deque University
Structured accessibility training from the team behind axe DevTools.
Books & Long-Form Reading
The handful of books I've actually recommended more than once.
Research & Academic
For when I need the primary study, not someone's summary of it.
PubMed
The default starting point for anything touching medical imaging or clinical validation.
IEEE Xplore
Software engineering and biomedical engineering research, in one searchable library.
arXiv - Software Engineering
Preprints on testing, AI-assisted development, and software quality, often years ahead of publication.
