Codeless Testing Tools to Solve the Challenges of Test Automation in 2020

The world is entering a new age of technology: codeless applications, which are accessible to users at all levels. Popular codeless tools like Wix or Squarespace are making significant changes to the way non-dev users get involved in the product development cycle. By going codeless, teams can now fill in the gap between the accelerating demands of product delivery and the skill sets of the team members. Software testing is not an exception to the movement towards codeless practices.

Coronavirus COVID-19: How To Embrace Working From Home (Our Tips & Tricks)

However, with a decline in new SOAP web services and most applications moving to cloud native architectures, a common query is “how can we support legacy services while moving to microservices?”

Building Compile-time Tools With Elixir's Compiler Tracing Features

Elixir 1.10 was recently released, and with that release came a little-known, but very interesting feature—compiler tracing. This feature means that as the Elixir compiler is compiling your code, it can emit messages whenever certain kinds of things are compiled.
