How to Develop a Structured Exploratory Testing Strategy

However, the flexibility of exploratory testing comes with the risk of ad hoc, random outcomes with no structure or consistency between testers, test managers, and projects. While testers should not be limited in their exploratory testing efforts, having a disciplined approach is a fantastic tool for gathering feedback, detecting errors, and enhancing UX.

Data Programmability with Snowpark API and Java UDFs

Not every developer wants to write in SQL, nor does SQL naturally handle every data programmability problem. This leads users to pull their data into other systems, which adds cost, time, and complexity while hurting security and governance. Snowflake is continuously making the platform more developer-friendly and extensible so more can be done with less. In this session, we discuss the present and future of Snowflake's extensibility, including Java UDFs and Snowpark. We'll also demo many exciting features in our roadmap and explore the scenarios they unlock.

How to Keep Database Table Sizes Down and Prevent Data Bloat

But hoarding data leads to the unbounded growth of database tables (both row count and stored data size). While this works fine to a certain point, it is very useful to prevent some data bloat — or, if you cannot prevent it, to plan for your infrastructure ahead of time to adequately manage growth.
