Let's chat about books, whether they're for leveling up professionally or just for the sheer joy of reading! Your Fave Read: What's the book that you just can't get enough of?

Engineering measurement

I work in an organisation where some domains we think are doing OK. They are CD, YBIYRI, product teams delivering to production in some instances multiple times a day.In other domains they have not really even started on that journey. They are projects not products and follow a more siloed, phased, document heavy way of working.We have a mandate to help these other domains on their journey to CD.We do however want to be sure we are safe to scale. We traditionally have only used trailing metrics (e.g. DORA) which tell us how we DID. We have a gut feel that as we scale we may need metrics that are more leading (e.g. measuring engineering signals like code complexity or, dare I say it, code coverage) which tell us how we ARE DOING.We think we are aware of the usual gotchas in measurement and so our measurement principles include things like: don't measure individuals but teams, don't set arbitrary targets, don't use metrics to judge across teams but to help each team have better evidence-

Beyond Lorem Ipsum: Fun and Creative Text Solutions

When it comes to designing websites, creating prototypes, or testing layouts, developers and designers often resort to placeholder text known as “Lorem Ipsum.” However, in an age of creativity and humor, why stick to the same old Lorem Ipsum? Here are some delightful alternatives that inject a bit of fun and personality into your design projects. https://medium.com/@t79877005/beyond-lorem-ipsum-fun-and-creative-text-solutions-dba1868e1ae0 WHICH ONE WOULD YOU ADD?

Do you have any new year resolutions?

Do you have any new-year resolutions? They can be both testing-related and non-testing related. 🙂For me, it is to be more active as an author and speaker. Hopefully, you’ll see the results soon. 😉 From the professional point of view, there are several certifications I have my eyes on in 2024.

What do you think about AI features for software testers?

Hi Community 👋🏻,lately, I have published a video about AI features for software testers on my channel: In the video, I am presenting current AI features software testers can already use. I was wondering if you use any of the mention tools in your environment, and what are your experiences with them? Also, I would be interested if you use already other AI tools or features on a daily basis. I am really curious to see your comments on this topic, since AI is (from my point of view) a topic that is disrupting many industries similar to the smartphones have done from 2007 onwards.Have a great day!Best,Daniel

What brought you into Testing/Software Development?

Since starting at ShiftSync, I’ve seen many people with experience in different fields and different backgrounds. I wanted to ask the community- How did you end up where you are today? What led up to this point in your career? I worked in several different industries before arriving at tech. English teaching, insurance, craft beer. Eventually I took a programming bootcamp and have been in the tech industry ever since. What are all your stories??

How are you future-proofing yourself in your career?

Whether you’re a tester, software developer, or elsewhere in the tech industry, we all know that technology (and AI in particular) have seen a big jump over the past couple years. Many have understandably had concerns with retaining relevant skills as we move further and further into uncharted territory. What steps have you taken to help ensure your place in your line of work is secure? Are the fears of artificial replacement overblown? Is there anything you think we should prepare for?

How to run tests on localhost to trigger the auto-improve functionality

Hello,I'm a college student, trying to gather more and more knowledge about test automation with AI. That's why I chose Testim, but my free trial expired already, so I can't try all the AI-powered functionalities Testim can offer.My question is, if it's possible to run a web-app over localhost in Testim, to which I've implemented mutation tests? I'm aware that in the free plan there's only the Testim cloud grid, but still I'd love to reproduce the auto improve functionality of this Testool with my error-filled local code of the web-app. I've written tests with the localhost's URL as the starting point (my server built with Node.js and Express and gets run before the automated tests), but instead of the auto improved steps I get a warning that the locators have significantly changed. That's not quite the auto improve behaviour I'm looking for or the one displayed in the documentation. Would someone be nice enough to lend me some of their thoughts on the matter and how I could trigger th
