[This](https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2020?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F22). It's a summary of the **Stack Overflow 2020 Developer Survey** results (that was actually published last week β€” pardon me for being slightly late). It's an absolutely amazing overview of software development status that gives insights you can't find anywhere else at such scale. It's so well done that it's hard for me to add any two cents so I'll just let you immerse yourself in it!Have a great weekend everyone! 😊*[Dawid Dylowicz](https://twitter.com/ddylowicz?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F22)* | | | | NEWS | | [Best Approaches to Testing in Production](https://medium.com/@AriNoman/best-approaches-to-testing-in-production-dba59a46200a?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F22)I liked this solid article by [Ari Noman](https://twitter.com/AriNoman1?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F22) explaining why testing in production is beneficial and how we can perform it well.
