Software Testing @programming.dev lysdexic @programming.dev Avoiding Test-Case Permutation Blowout (2021)
www.stevenhicks.me Avoiding Test-Case Permutation BlowoutSometimes you want to write tests for a business rule that's based on multiple variables. Covering every possible permutation of the variables quickly becomes unsustainable. I've found myself using a different approach — one test for the positive case, and one test for each variable's negative case.

Software Testing @programming.dev Annamasv @programming.dev Best resources to learn test automation, keep up with trends in it?
Hi, I am in the process of learning test automation, Selenium + Java at the moment. It seems that still, the best way to learn it is some kind of apprenticeship. (But there is an issue that there you will not learn best practices, just this given person/company practices). Most courses just skim topics, are not project focused, and do not talk about common problems and connected tools.
What was your approach to learn, do you have any sources to recommend? Is test automation your line of professional work?

As of version 3.42.0 (2023-05-16), the SQLite library consists of approximately 155.8 KSLOC of C code. (KSLOC means thousands of "Source Lines Of Code" or, in other words, lines of code excluding blank lines and comments.) By comparison, the project has 590 times as much test code and test scripts - 92053.1 KSLOC.

Software Testing @programming.dev LemmyStartNow @programming.dev Java/ JS/ Python for Selenium WebDriver - Which language to choose?
Hello, I've posted this question previously but thought I might post here for a more accurate community. Apologies in advanced.
Manual QA here want to start learning Test Automation. Coming from a non-tech background will make it a bit of a challenge but I’m looking to “test” myself.
Out of the three languages (Java, JS, Py), which should I focus on learning to get the best knowledge to apply when eventually using Selenium WebDriver?
I would like to comprehend all three later on in the future but for now which is the best to start off or continue with. Many have mentioned Python is beginner-friendly approach to learning programming and less stressful, but I see a lot of tutorials for Selenium webdriver being taught using Java, Also I heard JS is being implemented a lot more and more nowadays.
