### AI overview

Google's weekly Tech on the Toilet publication has been renamed from Testing on the Toilet to reflect its broader coverage of software development topics, including coding practices, machine learning, and web development.

### Source excerpt

By Kanu Tewary and Andrew Trenk Tech on the Toilet (TotT) is a weekly one-page publication about software development that is posted in bathrooms in Google offices worldwide. At Google, TotT is a trusted source for high quality technical content and software engineering best practices. TotT episodes relevant outside Google are posted to this blog. We have been posting TotT to this blog since 2007. We're excited to announce that Testing on the Toilet has been renamed Tech on the Toilet. TotT originally covered only software testing topics, but for many years has been covering any topics relevant to software development, such as coding practices, machine learning, web development, and more. A Cultural Institution TotT is a grassroots effort with a mission to deliver easily-digestable one-pagers on software development to engineers in the most unexpected of places: bathroom stalls! But TotT is more than just bathroom reading -- it's a movement. Driven by a team of 20-percent volunteers, TotT empowers Google employees to learn and grow, fostering a culture of excellence within the Google engineering community. Photos of TotT posted in bathroom stalls at Google. Anyone at Google can author a TotT episode (regardless of tenure or seniority). Each episode is carefully curated and edited to provide concise, actionable, authoritative information about software best practices and developer tools. After an episode is published, it is posted to Google bathrooms around the world, and is also available to read online internally at Google. TotT episodes often become a canonical source for helping far-flung teams standardize their software development tools and practices. Because Every Superhero Has An Origin Story TotT began as a bottom-up approach to drive a culture change. The year was 2006 and Google was experiencing rapid growth and huge challenges: there were many costly bugs and rolled-back releases. A small group of engineers, members of the so-called Testing Grouplet, pass
