🌟 12 Data Structures You Must Know 🌟
Data structures form the backbone of efficient programming. They organize and manage data for optimal access and manipulation.
🧑💻As a tech professional, mastering these structures is essential:
1. Arrays: Collection of items in contiguous memory, efficient for random access.
2. Strings: Sequence of characters used for representing text.
3. Tuples: Immutable lists suitable for storing fixed collections of elements.
4. Lists: Flexible linear collections accommodating various data types.
5. Dictionaries: Hash tables storing key-value pairs for efficient lookups.
6. Sets: Collections of unique elements, ideal for uniqueness checks.
7. Trees: Hierarchical structures with nodes and child nodes, great for searching and sorting.
8. Linked Lists: Linear structures with nodes linked via pointers, beneficial for dynamic data.
9. Stacks: LIFO structures for undo/redo operations and function call management.
10. Queues: FIFO structures for task processing in specific order.
11. Graphs: Non-linear structures of nodes and edges, representing object relationships.
12. Maps: Stores key-value pairs with keys of any data type, enhancing data retrieval.
Mastering these data structures empowers you to write efficient code and ace those tough interview questions. 🚀

📋 Test Plan Sample 📋
One of the most important documents to be generated by the QA team is the test plan, as the team will acting blindly without; not knowing the criteria, the starting point, or even when to perform different testing types can risk the whole delivery and causes bad code delivery.
Test plan sections and content can vary based on project and delivery nature, therefore, the attached test plan PDF is considered as a generic one that serves all software testing delivery purposes.

🔥 The Philosophy of Architecture - Barry O'Reilly - NDC Oslo 2024🔥
This session looks at the underlying philosophical beliefs that inform the everyday practice of software architecture. Instead of endlessly arguing in terms of frameworks and methods, why not understand why we think the way we do, why some people disagree, and why we can’t trust our Computer Science educations? Who are we, why are we like this, and can we ever change?

🔥 Free Learning Resources For Software Testers 🔥
An ongoing project to create a set of links to free online learning resources for new and experienced Software Testers (Click Readme.md to view).
Since computer science and IT university departments don't invariably offer dedicated software testing modules and resources are spread among various different providers linked to different methodologies, I created this project to help guide new testers into some sort of useful curriculum and collate some existing web-based resources into lists of links.

🔥 Explaining 9 types of API testing 🔥
1️⃣ Smoke Testing
This is done after API development is complete. Simply validate if the APIs are working and nothing breaks.
2️⃣ Functional Testing
This creates a test plan based on the functional requirements and compares the results with the expected results.
3️⃣ Integration Testing
This test combines several API calls to perform end-to-end tests. The intra-service communications and data transmissions are tested.
4️⃣ Regression Testing
This test ensures that bug fixes or new features shouldn’t break the existing behaviors of APIs.
5️⃣ Load Testing
This tests applications’ performance by simulating different loads. Then we can calculate the capacity of the application.
6️⃣ Stress Testing
We deliberately create high loads to the APIs and test if the APIs are able to function normally.
7️⃣ Security Testing
This tests the APIs against all possible external threats.
8️⃣ UI Testing
This tests the UI interactions with the APIs to make sure the data can be displayed properly.
9️⃣ Fuzz Testing
This injects invalid or unexpected input data into the API and tries to crash the API. In this way, it identifies the API vulnerabilities.

📋 Developing a Quality Strategy 📋
If a quality strategy is not a testing strategy, what is it? A quality strategy is a holistic view of all the different thoughts, beliefs, and ideas that go into producing a quality product. If it sounds vague, that’s because it is.
To demonstrate how to put together a quality strategy and operationalize it, I’m going to draw a parallel between the test design pattern of Arrange-Act-Assert. You can use that pattern as a model when developing and implementing a quality strategy.
