Ever get confused about what exactly is meant when people talk about #UnitTests, #IntegrationTests, #RegressionTests, and #SmokeTests? I wrote a little something about them to, hopefully, explain the differences and overlap: www.cassandrahl.com/blog/on-unit...

I put together some thoughts on no / low code solutions and #AI for #Automaton #Testing and #QualityEngineering

Most of what I've seen so far is people being very against or very for, so I'm interested to know what you think.

This post has gone through a few versions, as I figured out exactly what it was I wanted to get across. Please bear with me, but also feel free to skip. I think my TL;DR is: I’d rather write automa...

Thanks. I only did a PoC so far but separated a common new record modal into its own page object. Then learnt about composition, and added that modal as a property on pages where it appears. Trying to learn some other good practices before I get "too far" and have a lot to change. Wanna start right.

Have you every wondered how your colleagues find such interesting #bugs, or how you can do the same? Let me introduce you to CRAIC SOURCERERS - a mnemonic for how to test like a #tester. It's not extensive, but hopefully helpful.

This.

A four-panel comic by queeeerchameleon.
Panel 1: Three chameleons on two branches, one in trans flag colors, one in gender fluid flag colors, and one in non-binary flag colors. Text - someone has a gender you don't understand?
Panel 2: A chameleon in pride flag colors on a branch. Text - that's how stuff works sometimes.
Panel 3: closeup of the pride flag chameleon's face. Text - I don't understand French...
Panel 4: extreme closeup of the pride flag chameleon's face. Text - but the language STILL EXISTS.
