Modern Software Development For Today's Systems & Applications
Automated Software Testing: A Definitive Guide
Imagine a world where your software tests run themselves, freeing you from the tedious grind of repetitive tasks, and catching bugs long before they wreak havoc on your code. This is the magic of automated software testing. Deadlines to ship software are tighter than ever. Users expect flawless experiences, and relying solely on manual testing just doesn’t cut it anymore.
Navigating Continuous Quality and Shift-Left Strategies with Indeed's David Morgenthaler
What does it really mean to shift left, and are we overburdening our developers in the process? In this episode, Jason Baum, Marcus Merrell, and Evelyn Coleman sit down with David Morgenthaler, a Software Engineering Manager at Indeed, to explore the real-world implications of shift-left testing. Together, they dissect the challenges of integrating continuous quality into CI/CD workflows and the potential pitfalls of placing more responsibility on developers' shoulders.
Producing Messages With a Schema in Confluent Cloud Console

How to Use Azure Blob Storage with Ruby on Rails
Azure Blob Storage is an object storage service that is very similar to AWS S3. ActiveStorage from Rails has built-in support for both ActiveStorage and S3 for file storage, making it easy to integrate and even swap out providers. The Honeybadger Blog has already explored using S3 for file storage in Rails, and in this article, we'll explore using Azure to allow users to upload files in a Rails application. You can find the final code here on Github.
Enhancing Software Quality: the symbiosis of Testability and Observability
Software testability measures how simple it is to test both the system as a whole and each individual component. In modern discussions about testing, the focus often shifts solely to the tests themselves, overlooking the socio-technical environment in which the application or project operates. Ensuring your application is testable means making it straightforward and reliable to test, so that when issues arise, we can be confident they are real issues and not artifacts of poor testability.
AI in Quality Assurance: How AI is Transforming Future of Quality Assurance
John McCarthy, an American computer scientist, stated this belief more than 40 years ago. Surely, his commitment to understanding the human mental process led him to ideate one of the most revolutionary ideas in computer science—artificial Intelligence (AI). Since then, AI has helped us develop software, utilize it to streamline our business offerings and maintain another essential aspect of digital ecosystems—quality assurance.
Ruby on Rails 7.1: Partial Strict Locals and Their Gotchas
Rails partials have been around for years, but they can be clunky since they're just ERB snippets without a backing object structure. Recently, libraries like ViewComponent and Phlex have tried to improve the view layer by adding more semantic structure to the templates. These are great libraries and I personally reach for ViewComponent on almost every project I work on. That said, I still feel the humble Rails partial still works great for many use cases.
