I would start with the word “RECOMMENDED”. A few days ago, I finished reading lectures by Professor Richard Feynman “QED: A Strange Light Theory and Substance”. What is that QED is quantum electrodynamics. The main thing – do not be afraid of these words. In fact, everything is much more complicated than you can imagine We live in a very interesting era of discoveries, known and unknown! This book (in fact – it’s 4 lectures) has become a bestseller on quantum physics since it is written in the most understandable way and for those who just want to know a little more and for those who already k ..read more

In this article, I will describe and present some example of how it is possible to run JUnit or TestNG test in multiple threads. Let’s think about the situation that, that there is the test, which needs to validate 10 locales in 10 languages. Locales and languages are always dynamically taken from somewhere. In this case, the most common way is: for (Locale locale: locales) { for (Language language: languages) { assertStuff(locale, language); } } The problem here is that complexity will be always On^2. So, wha ..read more

Few days ago I decided try to use iPad for development in Python. I thought it could be funny but I didn’t believe that I will like it. After investigation of all possibilities I opened for myself powerful combination of the tools that allows to perform full process of development, refactoring and scripts execution on iPad. And even more – everything can connected to GitHub. Let’s review it step by step. First of all what You need – iPad or iPhone. Of course iPad is much better for development and the reason is obvious. The second w ..read more

Try to ask any QA automation engineer the simple question “How to verify that element is presented on the page?”. The answer will be simple and obvious “It needs to check that element is displayed”. Let’s try to look on this case from another perspective. How many times we’ve been using the web applications with terrible design? Yes, everything works as expected on the web pages and all the elements are displayed. But the main human’s instrument for perception of external world is the eyes and the brain. We see the world in 3D. But on the background human’s brain try to simplify the perception ..read more
