Show Notes
Testing is a super important part of the software development process to ensure that bugs don't make their way into our code. But what exactly is testing and how do we do it?
In this episode, we cover some different types of testing - manual testing, automation testing, functional testing, and non-functional testing. Even if you work with a test analyst or QA, it's really valuable as a developer to understand what testing actually is and how it all works so you can make sure you're using those good testing practices in the work you do.

Join us as she breaks down what XR really is, explains the fundamental building blocks of the technology, and shares how you can get started. We also dive into the future of XR and, of course, how we can help keep this space diverse and inclusive!
