There are many software development blogs out there, but many of them don't publish testing articles on a regular basis.
Also, I have noticed that some software developers don't read blogs written by software testers. That is a shame because I think that we can learn a lot from them.
That is why I decided to create a newsletter that shares the best testing articles which I found during the last week.
Let's get started.
Technical Stuff
- Cypress vs. Selenium, is this the end of an era is an interesting post which compares the features of Cypress and Selenium.
- Introduction to JUnit 4 Test Classes is a free sample lesson of my Test With Spring course. This is actually the second version of this lesson and it contains an improved voice track, less slides, and better editing.
- Overview of Spark and HTTP Testing with JUnit provides a quick introduction to Spark web server, and explains how you can use it when you are writing automated tests for code which sends HTTP requests to a remote API.
- Property-based Testing in Java - The Importance of Being Shrunk is an interesting post which explains how you can use jqwik for finding the simplest sample data that will falsify your property.
The Really Valuable Stuff
- How Long Will the Testing Take is a thought-provoking blog post which explains why it's odd to ask this question. However, even though the author think that this is a silly question, he also provides a comprehensive and well-thought answer to it.
- Software Testing Anti-patterns is an excellent post which identifies 13 software testing anti-patterns. Also, keep in mind that this post talks about anti-patterns which are related to test automation.
