Are you aware of the Project Management Triangle? Are you aware of how it is affecting your projects? Especially, how is affecting your quality?
I’ve seen a lot of discussions recently which feels like not many people are aware.
If you missed #appiumconf this year you can now watch my talk on YouTube!
[blog] Flakiness isn’t from your test framework
https://www.theautomatedtester.co.uk/blog/2024/flakiness-isnt-from-your-test-framework/
This week I saw Filip Hric share a post from Gleb Bahmutov, ex-principal engineer for Cypress, explaining that the way cypress works and not using transport layers like playwright or WebDriver based frameworks makes its tests less flaky. That’s 100% not the reason your tests are flaky. I’m not going to lie, this shocked me that Gleb would say this as I’ve always thought of him as a good engineer after seeing his work on Cypress.

Free at last! iOS is free at last at least in the EU... but I think this will kill browser choice rather than enhance it

But, have the well-meaning EU politicians dealt a killing blow for free choice on the web? Last week Apple announced changes that would allow people to pick their favourite browser and it be that browser rather than an app that used a Safari webview. On the face of it, this sounds great. The reality is I think it will do what the cookie banner did for privacy. I have been an advocate for free choice but it needs to be a free choice.
