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

Welcome to the 68th issue!
Last week, someone reached out to me on LinkedIn asking if I can share some insights about quality metrics.
I remembered there were a few great articles that I included in the previous issues of Software Testing Weekly. I typed metrics in the search bar, quickly found them and sent them over.
So here's the tip, if you want to learn more about a certain technology, tool or approach, try the search bar. With nearly 1,500 links included since the beginning of this project, you'll likely find some useful information.
Hope that helps. 😊
Happy testing everyone!
