|
Hello Reader! I’ve been thinking quite a lot about how testing workflow looks like these days. It seems like it has been much less about the automation scripts, and more about everything that’s going around. Discussion on AI in TestingI know everyone is tired of the buzzwords, but it seems AI is the one we can’t really escaped. How has AI changed your daily workflow? I asked this recently on my socials and overwhelming majority voted that their testing workflow was positively impacted. For me, Cursor editor was a gamechanger. I’ve been able to things in minutes, that would previously take me days. Test Flakiness: Fix or Ignore?Should you fix every test failure or simply mute the flaky ones? Some think it’s better to focus on bigger issues. Does your team ignore unstable tests, or do you fix them all? I’ve recently stumbled up a philosophy that prioritized developer time over lengthy test maintenance, and I have to say - it kinda makes sense? I got some interesting replies to this on my socials, but it seems that as testers, we haven’t reached consensus. EventsI’m appearing on 4 online events this week
I’ll be happy to connect with you on any of these! Meme of the Week​ See ya! 👋 |

Filip Hric 18th March 2025 Code (r)evolution is here Hello Reader,We’re living through a massive shift in how code is written. AI is no longer just a sidekick—it’s building entire features in minutes. Supabase is becoming the go-to AI-friendly database, and vibe coding is turning into a movement (controversial or not). That’s why Jonathan and I are going live this Wednesday to break it all down. We’ll talk about what’s happening, where AI is leading us, and what this means for developers and...
