Monitoring E2E Test Automation: what, why, and how
The more frequently you ship to production, the more you may want to invest in the observability of your changes. Avraham Khanukaev and Dor Eitan explain what metrics to consider and how to monitor them.
Monitoring & Alert Test Strategy
Rafaela Azevedo explains what good metrics are and how you can use chaos engineering practices to test your monitoring and alerting systems.
Moreover, you might be interested in Chris Tozzi's explanation of Synthetic Monitoring.
How to get started with Performance Testing
This is a great guide by Johanna South that can help you get more familiar with performance testing. There are sets of definitions, tools, questions, metrics and best practices to learn from.
Stop this practice for testing right now!
Rohit Khankhoje explains why some common practices, including metrics and release signoff, shouldn't be done by testers.
One thing that Manish Saini suggests doing though is to start Learning from Incidents: A Guide for SDETs.
Christian Findlay explains why implementing the right test type is more important than trying to meet a certain test coverage metric.
In relation to that, Rafael Miguel describes in detail the benefits of Using Branching Coverage to Improve Software Quality.
Someone on Reddit is looking for good quality metrics and people gave fair responses and suggestions.
Moreover, you may want to Use Ishikawa diagrams to improve quality as Mike Harris suggests.
Welcome to the 246th issue!
It's hard to believe that DORA metrics have been around for a decade now.
They're considered an industry-standard way of tracking the software delivery throughput and stability.
So it's great to see Google's Highlights from the 10th DORA report — compiled by Nathen Harvey and Derek DeBellis.
What got my attention is that nearly 75% of responders use AI for code writing and 60% for test automation.
However, as we learn, it has negatively impacted both the software delivery throughput and stability.
No wonder that 39% of responders don't fully trust AI-generated code.
So what is there to learn for us?
Let me answer with this megathread on Reddit — Manual testers are ABSOLUTELY needed.
Happy testing! 🙂
