TestingDojos are collaborative testing sessions similar to coding dojos where participants work together through deliberate practice to improve testing skills. A testing dojo requires a meeting room with computers, a projector, and materials like paper, pens, and a whiteboard. Sessions can be single, paired, or involve missions where participants test something or evaluate tools together to learn new approaches and support team building, motivation, and breaking up routine work.
