Oh, I missed that there is a sequel to that sensational article about SDET at Microsoft and testing in Big tech:

An alternative to the overloaded Postman:

It looks powerful. What is your opinion on this?

#Kyiv #testing #meetup

Where else to meet @newromka and #QAClubLviv, if not in the capital 🤓

There were not many of us, but it was interesting and intense.

Some ideas/notes after the meeting:

A utility to monitor PR/Jira
https://linearb.io/

Periodic export from TestRail of tests that have not been run for a long time (like a year or a month).

Hitmap for autotests (on a test env).

Code/feature coverage

Testmate as Jira plugin

Test on current version of Chrome, on major, on beta...

And a couple of upcoming events:

QA Magic Meetup 5.0 will be in Kyiv on March 30,

And on April 20 from QA Club Lviv (in Lviv this time!)

#language #tools #useful

I'm used to switching layouts on my Mac with one button, namely the Caps Lock, and I wanted to reproduce it on #Windows. And without installing some overloaded Moscovian tool like Punto Switcher.

I tried several options (including registry edits) and settled on this simple utility – maybe someone else will find it useful too:

#video #live #testing #metrics

Join us for our new online event that explores the universe of Quality Assurance metrics, the backbone of any successful QA management operation. The QA practice globally utilizes an estimated 100 functional metrics serving various purposes that include evaluating the QA team's performance and progression, gauging intermediate results, pinpointing problems, and furnishing arguments for management.

Nice #video

We've all said, "I don't have time for testing". Is forcing tests onto your code hurting your developer productivity? It's more complicated than saying "just test your code as often as possible".

In this episode, Trisha Gee on her debut on the channel tackles those questions and offers advice on how to best go about software testing to maximise developer productivity.

It's one of the best things I've seen in #exploratory #testing in general.

Just a checklist of almost everything that can be for a particular feature:

The latest version of #VSCode has native support for code coverage:

https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_88

#testing #Playwright

Highlights:
- browserContext.clearCookies() can now be used to delete cookies by filter
- a new option in retain-on-first-failure tracing
- it is now possible to get information about tags during the testInfo.tags test
- new locator.contentFrame() method that converts Locator to FrameLocator and back to frameLocator.owner()
- small improvements in the UI mode

Also, this new version of Playwright broke my #Github actions last night with the error Error: Playwright Test did not expect test.describe() to be called here. ... Error: No tests found. 😡

I solved it by updating package.json and package-lock.json, but somehow I didn't like doing it with my hands. Will this happen with every update? I mean, updating packages/configurations and all that. 🤔
