It makes use of the latest technologies to automatically tag and find pictures without getting in your way. Say goodbye to solutions that force you to upload your visual memories to the cloud or pay monthly fees.</p> <p>We've recently improved our search and implemented maps based on Leaflet / OpenStreetMap.

Simplicity - the art of maximizing the amount of work not done - can be very powerful. Go itself is a <a href="https://talks.golang.org/2015/simplicity-is-complicated.slide">great example</a>.</p> <p>Our long-term goal is to become an open platform for machine learning <a href="https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/wiki/Research">research</a> based on real-world photo collections.</p> <h3> How to contribute </h3> <p>We welcome contributions of any kind. If you have a bug or an idea, read our <a href="https://docs.photoprism.org/en/latest/contribute/">guide</a> before opening an issue.<br> Issues labeled <a href="https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/labels/help%20wanted">help wanted</a> / <a href="https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Aeasy">easy</a> can be good (first) contributions. </p> <p>You'll get a small reward for working on <a href="https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/labels/funded">funded issues</a>, see <a href="https://issuehunt.io/repos/119160553">issuehunt.io</a> for details. Note that issue descriptions may be outdated on their site. Rewards are paid out when all <a href="https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/wiki/Issues#user-stories">acceptance criteria</a> prioritized as MUST are met and your <a href="https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/wiki/Pull-Requests">pull request</a> was successfully merged.</p> <p>Please join our <a href="https://groups.google.com/a/photoprism.org/forum/#!forum/developers">developers mailing list</a> to receive regular project updates and discuss development related topics. Don't be afraid to ask stupid questions.</p> <p>Our project on GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism">https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism</a></p> opensource freesoftware tensorflow go Michael Mayer Mon, 15 Apr 2019 03:27:58 +0000 https://dev.to/lastzero/you-can-t-test-quality-into-a-product-2lfo https://dev.to/lastzero/you-can-t-test-quality-into-a-product-2lfo <p>QA testing and reviews are activities done after development has been completed. You can't test a feature until after it has been built, and you can't review code until after it has been written.</p> <p><a href="https://media.dev.to/cdn-cgi/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F31a75gaw1svfs63fgv6d.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media.dev.to/cdn-cgi/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F31a75gaw1svfs63fgv6d.png" width="783" height="484"></a></p> <p>The earlier potential issues are detected, the lower the overhead for managing bugs and reimplementing functionality.</p> <p>Quality assurance is a proactive team activity starting with development. It requires tight feedback loops designed to assure that quality will be built into the product in the first place.</p> agile softwarequality qa technicalexcellence
