Problem Statement

Let’s be honest, we scroll through platforms hoping to find something new to read on QA. A firsthand experience. A real case study. A unique point of view.

But thats not what we usually get. We get same repetitive content, some theoritical definitions, code snippets which is shared on dozen other blogs, clickbate and SEO optitmised articles.

That’s a sad state of QA at present.

As QAs, we talk about quality all day. Yet somehow, when it comes to the content we consume, I believe we are the worst.

• QA content is everywhere.
• Most of it feels the same.
• And when you finally find something valuable? You’ve already burned time skimming through 10 low-effort articles.
• The good articles are not so easy to find on common platform, they are hidden on many personal blogs.

The Realization

I’m an avid reader and a passionate QA. I genuinely enjoy articles that are fact-driven, sharing real-world experience, and go beyond surface-level advice. But my interest immediately dies when I see repetitive content or shallow articles. I am a subscriber of 10 different newsletters in the hope finding something fresh and good. To be honest, none of them are worth the time I spent on reading.

I found myself reading asking:
Why am I wasting time to read same shallow articles on all the newsletters?

That’s when it hit me.

The Solution

I spent last few months on writing my own articles. To be honest, I am not a good writer. I spent a lot of time on publishing articles touching fundamental concepts. But trust me, having ideas in mind and penning them down is not so easy.

I believe, it happens with all the new writers. They have ideas in their mind, but when they decide to pen down them, they tend to forget everything. Defintely, I need to work on this area. Though, I will keep writing on different subjects to bring traffic to my website from search engines.

So I decided to flip the model.
Rather than adding more noise to the mix by my not so good articles, I decided to build a quality-first QA newsletter.

Here’s how it works:

I scroll thorough many articles, so you don’t have to.
Each month, I scan dozens of blogs, case studies, and write-ups and handpick only a few of them, which are worth for your time.

Only 3–7 articles make the cut.
No filler. No fluff. Only high quality articles.

You get a short, thoughtful curation of reads that actually matter.

💡 Each pick passes 4 filters:

1. Fresh perspective
2. Real-world relevance
3. No code dumps
4. Unique angle or takeaway
5. Touching upon other aspects of QA like thinking skills
6. Good content is not only limited to written articles. Videos, Podcasts, discussions, Tweets are in the list.
7. Covering open source worth exploring.

I am not trying to be comprehensive.
I am trying to be useful.

Who This Is For

• If you’re tired of clicking 10 links just to find one gem…
• If you want your learning time to be high signal, low effort…
• If you care about improving your QA mindset, not just your automation scripts…

Then this is for you.

What’s Ahead

Looking forward to make this community driven activity. A group of QAs thoughtfully going through many articles and filtering a few to be shared in the newsletter.

You can submit your articles here to be included in upcoming newsletter issues.
