How much understanding do you have in economics? Because, most of our work, in software, is really based on economics decisions. When we’re coding, we’re working to deliver some economic value to the organization. Coding is only half the fun, Read more…
Throughout history, since the cavemen of old, we were looking for signs of quality. There was one way to do that: Look at the final product and decide. But that takes time. Plus if your work is being assessed only Read more…
Code reviews are very important. They are the last line of defense. Code review is the last chance we have to stop a problem from going out into the wild. Whatever that problem is, whether it’s a bug hiding in Read more…
I really like this topic. Test design is something we many times skip, or just gloss over. For example, I have a test for some API, and I need to write the next one. Chances are I’m going to reuse Read more…
Whether you’re a tester, or a developer, or a manager, you’ve probably wondered at some point in your life – what makes apps so complex? Where does all the complexity come from? It’s complex to build, to test, to deploy, Read more…
If you take a look at automated web testsת you’ll be overwhelmed by locators (or selectors, or elements, or whatever framework you’re using). They are everywhere, and the tests find them and make use of them. As they should. It’s Read more…

How do we approach API test planning? We usually look at the API and what it does, and check it’s functionality, along with a few more APIs. And we consider the API testing done. But we miss out on what Read more…
Design patterns are very useful. They help us create readable and maintainable code. But there’s only one pattern that has gone on to garner infamy. Some people might call using it a moral failure: The evil Singleton. So how much Read more…
Every unit testing example starts with a calculator, so let’s do that today. Have a look at this code. Suspicious eh? Okay, so how many tests do you think we need to cover this code? “Cover” is pretty vague. How Read more…
