We at Qualitest wanted to know which QA people were the most-followed Twitter users in the QA community (as of August 7, 2017). A few people were removed from the list, due to barely tweeting in 2017, or if their tweets were mostly limited to article retweets without commentary and non-QA/IT topics (which are fine to discuss, but not what we were looking for in this article). So see if you recognize anyone on the list and perhaps you will find a new inspiration to follow/
While the Honorable Mentions are a little further down the list, the EvilTester attitude and the “flip” appearance of Huib Schoots’ name may make you realize that sometimes you need to stand out if you’re going to catch edge cases.
