Have you ever wondered how to measure #CognitiveLoad? There is no standardized scientific method for measuring it. However, for teams involved in software delivery and operations, we can ask about their understanding of the software, business domain, and user needs. By identifying factors that contribute to increased cognitive load, such as #testability, #operability, prioritization difficulties, and domain complexity, we can work towards alleviating these challenges.
I can't quite convince myself yet that all inheritance/coupling is intrinsically bad, but I'm more and more recognising abstract base classes (ABCs) and #mixin classes as anti-patterns because they hinder #testability, which to me is key to quality software; #ABCs and mixins are by construction impossible to test on their own, and both patterns only make sense if a language supports inheritance, so it seems that the simplest option to avoid them is to get rid of inheritance altogether.

"I was invited to a meeting called a 'pre-mortem': let’s discuss the things that might go wrong. This should be a wonderful source of testing ideas and, hopefully, a place to describe opportunities to increase #testability and #automatability"

Why Do We Test?

Im pretty sure we’ve all heard about the “global IT outage” from last week. Most of us were affected by it, either directly or indirectly. I couldn’t use the ATM and my wife’s flight was delayed fo…

I am really chuffed. The most read article on last week's Software Testing Notes was my post "How can you improve the testability of your product?"

Thatza Dean Radin and Alex Ferrari from Next Level Soul podcast. Dean does a good job here (in discussion) of explaining where the current razors edge is regarding #testability and biologically mediated macro #Psi events resides. That his last written context resides in a book that talks about a history of #magic detracts nothing from the matter at hand which by itself is pretty wild...
