Workroom PlayTime 061: DeepWiki as a Tester

Jul 8, 2026 (Jul 8, 2026) Loading...

This week's Workroom PlayTime is not going to be on Thursday – there's an expected conjunction of several commitments, and I've not found a time. So I'm shifting, for this week, to Friday 10 July at 7:30pm UK time. Please note the change of time. And do let me know if this time works better for you.

We'll play with tool DeepWiki, which reads code in public github repos, and writes documents. I recently wrote about my experiences with DeepWiki, as a tester – it's neither deep, nor a wiki, but it is interesting. If generated insights are in your wheelhouse, you might find my adventures with Graphify interesting, too, and that's all on a local LLM.

Here are the exercises we'll use. I hope you've got a github repo that you already know, but you'll see a couple of suggestions from me if not.

We'll gather on Zoom. These exercises are for everyone, for free. All subscribers get to play together most weeks, paid subscribers get a guaranteed slot or rerun if we're full. If you get this in an email or can see the joining info section below, then you're a subscriber and have access to the Zoom etc. for the workshop. If you'd like to bring a friend, you can do that. I'll say yes until I've got too many.

Use this Savvycal link to book your spot and get reminders. Note to regulars: You should find it easier to use the Zoom link – it's in several places. Tell me if you like it or if it's a problem.

signed-in subscribers will see joining info and links below
