Sometimes or...always.
If is not tested, is not finished. For me QA and Devs must be best friends, their edge cases help us find edge solutions and in the end, the users have the best product possible.
And let's be honest, sometimes QA peers come with some bugs that are just, mind-blowing and I love that mindset.
Testing is the only way we can ensure a quality code. If is it easily broken maybe we need to check it out!
Yes, what I mean is always self-test. But occasionally, be meticulous, careful, and thorough like a true tester. And learn to think, reason like a tester while self-testing instead of having a 'happy case first' mindset during developing
Totally agree with this. Always thoroughly test all of your work - manually. I usually find lots of stuff that QA miss
Thank you for the great post, that’s what many of us need to hear. In my experience in commercial contexts, poor testing and lack of Quality Assurance often not only slow developers down, but also disrupts stakeholders’ trust. Agile development and leaving some testing to the end users is fine in moderation but it’s our job to ship not just good priest, but polished too!
Thanks for the positive feedback! I agree that testing and quality assurance are crucial for trust with stakeholders. Balancing Agile with polished product delivery is key
Hello 😊
On your generated cover, you should activate face fixing (if this is Stable Diffusion generated), they look creepy 😅
Thanks for your comment. I used Copilot on Microsoft Edge to create images (they integrate Dall E), and I don't know how to make the faces in the images less creepy =)) Perhaps I'll use a different image
The new one is perfect ! You can try Stable Cascade for free on huggingface workspaces, faces are better than the initial one you posted 😉
lol, the way to avoid creating creepy faces is to choose images without faces. Your tool seems cool, I'll try it in future posts <3
We live in a creepy world where nobody is PERFECT :)
Having a good relationship with the testing side of the house can be a lot of fun. I had a friendly "rivalry" with a Quality Engineer at a previous company where I started to learn his typical ways to break my stuff. I started being more mindful to handle those cases to make my features more robust and stupid-proofed for users, then he one-upped and learned some new testing procedures to dig up weird bugs in the platform itself. It was a fun back-and-forth so we'd have more focus on the intricate, major problems instead of petty little things like "lol this let me enter a string as a number, fix it!" that weren't interesting to either of us.
Nice post, Testing is one of the crucial parts that developers and stakeholders often overlook when prioritizing fast product development. However, in the long run, as software grows, it becomes increasingly difficult to add new features and test for regressions. Investing time in thorough testing upfront can save significant effort and resources in the future, ensuring a more robust and stable product.
Yes, most especially in UAT from beginning to the end and allow effective questioning and criticism of your codes; this will allow you to make necessary corrections such that at the end of the day your code will come out stronger and be a friend of users and stakeholders.
Ya you are correct mostly at the time of debugging the code ...
👏👏
I say always. If you don't test your code, it's not ready for users. You, as a programmer, should be able to catch at least 90% of problems before ever passing it off to a tester.
Not sometime, it should be always👍
