Debugging in Ruby with pry-byebug

For a software engineer, even the basic use of a debugger can save a lot of pain: adding breakpoints (places in the code the program will stop at and expose the current context) is very easy, and navigating from one breakpoint to another isn't difficult either. And with just that, you can say goodbye to a program's many puts and runs. Just add one or more breakpoints and run your program.

Using Moesif, Kong, and Stripe to Monetize Your AI APIs - Part 3: Managing Customer Credit

Things can get tricky when managing pre-paid, pay-as-you-go billing for monetized APIs. Three mechanisms must be in place for this type of billing to work: first, you need to be able to add credits to an account. Second, you need to be able to burn down those credits. Third, you need to be able to block users from accessing the API once they have run out of credits.

What is a Test Report? A Comprehensive Guide To Build One

At the end of every testing project, a test report is usually created to summarize the results. This report provides insights into how the test project was executed if it aligned with the initial plan, and what areas need further optimization. In this article, we’ll explore in-depth what needs to be included in a test report, as well as the key metrics that QA teams need to look at if they want to gauge their testing efficiency.

The Real-World Impact of Shift-Left

To shift or not to shift – that is the question. If you’ve been around the software development world lately, you’ve likely heard of shift-left – the practice of integrating testing, security, and operations early in the software development lifecycle to detect issues early. This approach is meant to be a win-win-win – saving time, money, and headaches. But is it as great in practice as it sounds in theory? In this episode, we debate the real-world benefits of shift-left and get to the heart of the issue: testing well.

How To Build A Good Test Infrastructure?

Any (functioning) system is built upon an infrastructure. This infrastructure supports all of the functions and activities of the system. Testing is no exception. With a good test infrastructure, QA teams can speed up their testing efforts and drastically improve efficiency. In this article, we will explore the concept of test infrastructure, and how you can effectively build one.
