The past year has been...complicated, to say the least. But the mabl community held strong, uniting over webinars, our first annual Experience event, and even game nights to support each other and build better software.
As we look back over the resources and stories that resonated the most, the critical and rapidly changing role of QA in the enterprise becomes clear.
