Letting the implementation details of the Subject Under Test seep into your test code quickly becomes problematic. It harms readability, forcing readers to decipher the test’s behavior, sometimes even debug it, just to understand what’s happening. Tests should be simple and easy to understand! That’s why it’s crucial to keep the domain knowledge in the production code, and out of your tests.

"What happens when coding is no longer the bottleneck in product development?" - beginning of a LinkedIn post

What happens when we act as if the assumption that coding was a bottleneck is true, but it actually isn't?

We're going to dive into the following topics:
- What is quality?
- Testing models and strategies
- Measuring quality
- Developer testing
- The fallacy of integrated end-to-end testing
- How to handle legacy code

There are still some places left. For more information, check out the following link:

Testing done right – SoftwareCaptains Academy

On Thursday May 7, I'll be hosting my workshop "Testing Done Right" together with the Software Captains Academy. Are you interested to learn more about how to build quality into software, rather than test it in later? Then join me in this workshop. (1/2)

DDos (Distributed Denial of Service) attack against BlueSky a few days ago: The whole network goes down.

DDoS against mastodon.social today: Lots of users on that instance impacted, the rest of the Fediverse keeps on running, my instance doesn't really notice, messages will be queued up until mastodon.social is reachable again.

Both networks claim to be decentralised and federated. You decide :)
