## What it is
A curated collection of publicly available resources on how software companies test their software and build quality culture, organized by company and topic. It now ships as a searchable website with listings from over 100 companies covering testing practices, automation, and quality processes.

## Use cases
- learn how big tech companies test their software
- find software testing best practices from real companies
- research quality engineering culture at other organizations
- discover testing in production and chaos engineering resources
- study test automation approaches used in industry
- prepare for QA or SDET interviews with real-world practices

## When to choose
- you want curated, real-world testing knowledge from many companies in one place
- you are building or improving a quality culture and want industry references
- you prefer browsing by company or topic with search and filtering

## When to avoid
- you need a runnable testing tool or framework rather than reading material
- you need guaranteed up-to-date content, since the README is deprecated and links may age
- you want hands-on tutorials or exercises rather than links to blogs and talks

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: testing, documentation
- domain: testing, developer-tools, tutorials, awesome-lists
- platform: browser
- tags: awesome-list, curated-resources, quality-engineering, software-quality, test-culture, knowledge-base, web
