Several very nice accounts of SWET1 have already been given, but now that two weeks have past I feel ready to share my personal reflections on the weekend.
I had never participated in something similar before, and was unsure of what to expect. I did have rather high expectations, but the even so I was overwhelmed by the sheer intensity of the discussions. There was so much energy and so many ideas and thoughts flying around that by the end of the first evening I was suffering from a total intellectual meltdown and had to go to my room and install some mind map softwares to relax...
The whole following week my brain was infested by a swarm of ideas bouncing around inside my head, but by the second week it had started settling down and sinking in, and by now I feel fairly recovered.
Spending a day and a half talking about nothing but exploratory testing was of course very stimulating and inspiring. Everyone took part actively and contributed in a unique way. My fellow peers provided me with ideas, hints, tips, tool suggestions and general encouragement that really gave me a push forwards as a tester.
The best thing though was the shared joy of testing.
Thank you everyone.
