He runs marathons. He hunts bugs. Same mindset 🇻🇳

Meet Thien — a Diamond Level Tester from Vietnam 💎 who discovered Test IO in 2023 as an intern in Ho Chi Minh City, when a mentor pointed him in the right direction.

He passed the courses, started hunting bugs — and never stopped.

Two years later, he's completed multiple 42km full marathons across Vietnam, climbed mountains, and built a testing career that keeps growing. And according to Thien, all three pursuits are driven by the exact same spirit.

Here's what the road taught him about software testing:
↳ The start always feels overwhelming. Begin anyway.
↳ The hardest part is the middle — where no one's watching. Push anyway.
↳ The finish line hits different when you almost gave up. Keep going anyway.

Every mountain climbed. Every race finished. Every bug found after hours of searching — the same feeling. Worth every step.

Which of these three mindsets resonates most with you? Let us know in the comments 👇

Spot it? The heart icon beside ❝52 review(s)❞ is half-cropped — and yes, that makes it a visual bug 🐛

💜 Meet Robert — from commute side job to Community Representative.

He joined Test IO the way many of our community members do — looking for a flexible side job that fit around his life. What began during his daily commute has grown into something much bigger.

These days, Robert isn't just testing software. He's active in Facebook groups, running German-language fan pages, and bringing real creativity to his role as a Community Representative 🇩🇪

And his secret weapon? The freedom to work remotely — on his own terms, in his own way.

Stories like Robert's remind us that Test IO isn't just a platform — it's a community where testers find their own path and grow into roles that didn't even exist when they started 🚀

Thank you for sharing your story with us, Robert ✨

Did you know email validation involves 3 different checks — and not all of them are yours to perform? 👇

When testing email fields, understanding what the system is actually checking helps you test smarter:
✅ Syntax — is the format correct? ([email protected])
✅ Domain — does the domain actually exist?
✅ Mailbox — does the system verify the mailbox exists?

– Valid examples: [email protected], [email protected]
– Invalid: missing @, no domain extension, spaces, missing local or domain part

Head to Test IO Academy for the full breakdown, including how disposable domains affect your testing: https://academy.test.io/en/articles/6741787-testing-email-validation

🤝 Did you know you can help a teammate strengthen their bug report before it ever reaches review?

On Test IO, you can leave Improvement Suggestions on other testers' bug reports before Team Leaders review them. It's a simple way to flag missing steps, unclear details, or quick fixes that strengthen the report.

Why it matters:
💡 When you suggest improvements, you're not judging validity - you're helping catch gaps early. Missing reproduction steps? Unclear screenshots? Vague descriptions? A quick suggestion gives your teammate time to fix it before review.

The ripple effect:
✅ Clearer reports for Team Leaders
✅ Fewer rejections for the tester
✅ Higher quality across the community
✅ Smoother review process for everyone

🚀 Small actions create big impact. When testers support each other, everyone's success rate improves. That's what makes this community work.

🔍 Out-of-scope bugs are one of the most common rejection reasons — and one of the easiest to avoid.

This quick guide walks you through 7 checks to run before you submit, so every bug counts.

Watch the bug — then drop your title in the comments. A Team Leader reviews every single one! 🎯

⚠️ Testing the wrong environment gets bugs rejected — here's how to avoid it.

Always use the access link in your test instructions, not your own search or bookmark. The wrong environment means wasted effort and rejected reports.

Stop getting bugs rejected for this reason: you're reporting opinions, not bugs 🐛

Your ❝bug❞ gets rejected. Again. The reason? It's actually working exactly as designed — you just disagree with the design choice.

This happens constantly. And it tanks your approval rate.

The difference:
✅ Functional bug = Something doesn't work
⚠️ Usability suggestion = Works but could be better
❌ Design opinion = Works fine, you just prefer it differently

Two questions that save rejections:
❓ Question 1: Does the function fail or become unavailable?
→ YES = Likely a bug
→ NO = Ask Question 2
❓ Question 2: Is the behavior clearly unintended?
→ Consistent across scenarios = Probably intentional design
→ Only suggest improvements when the test explicitly requests it

The critical question before you submit:
> ❝Is this broken, or do I just disagree with the design?❞

This single question will save you countless rejected submissions.

Real example from the video:
• Search bar at bottom instead of top, but works perfectly = NOT a bug. It's a design choice, even if you'd prefer it elsewhere.

Unless your test explicitly asks for usability feedback, focus only on what's genuinely broken.

Do you often find yourself wishing usability bugs were included in the scope of the test?👇
