The rise of artificial intelligence has recently led to bots writing real news stories about sports, finance and politics. As yet, bots have not turned their attention to science, but the changes AI bots could unleash in science writing are remarkable.
This post aims to discuss key monitoring discussion points and to summarise the relevant best practices when instrumenting application performance monitoring. Below are some of the areas we’ll be focusing in on… Terminology. Understand the different types of monitoring. Data collection methods. Frontend monitoring. Make it useful, then actionable. Focus on user impact. Favour organic changes over static thresholds. Send critical and noncritical alarms to different channels.
Bill Gates has become a powerful influence on publishing. An endorsement from the philanthropist and Microsoft cofounder can cause tangible sales spikes, reminiscent of the golden ticket that once came with being picked for Oprah's book club. So just what does Gates read? Quartz manually compiled all 186 of the books recommended on his blog,...
Code Example: https://github.com/vladimir-dejanovic/grpc-bank-example You heard of "new thing" called gRPC and promises that it will solve all issues for you, …
If you wanted to hand a book over to a new tester, to help them get to grips with the world of testing, what topics would you expect or like to see in it?
In the world of software development, Cem Kaner should get the highest recognition for his contribution to software testing (I will describe Kaner’s contributions in another post). In his first book…
Agile Testers are often known as Quality Analysts (QA), Software Engineers in Test, Test Engineers and QA Leads, among other variances. I've been working as an Agile QA for a while and I would like to share my point of view about how QAs work in an agile team. In this article, I will use the term QA to represent an "Agile Tester". Most people, even in agile teams, treat QAs as a sub-role or a separate role in the team. I believe this is an outdated conception. The difference between a QA and a Dev lies in the mindset.
Over the last several years we’ve seen a whole range of ideas regarding the architecture of systems. These include: Hexagonal Architecture (a.k.a. Ports and Adapters) by Alistair Cockburn and adopted by Steve Freeman, and Nat...
The brittleness of tests or specs is a recurring topic in BDD (or acceptance test-driven development, specification-by-example, or whatever you choose to call the thing where you write acceptance criteria, automate them and then make the application match). This is a tricky area, and there are probably as many styles of defining and grouping acceptance…
