Testing Emoji Charades

Testing Emoji Charades is a free browser game where you guess software testing terms from emoji clues, used as a vocabulary warm-up for testing teams and workshops.

Shared vocabulary is what stops a team arguing past each other. Emoji Charades makes the glossary a game, which is a faster way to fix terminology drift than another glossary page nobody reads.
