Creating a Test Framework using AI based tools (Cursor and Fine.AI)

Beth M worked with AI tools for testing and concludes that tools like Cursor and Fine.ai can significantly accelerate the development of test automation frameworks. However, human angle will continue to lay the important role to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the generated code. She recommends to continue using such tools for these can offer substantial time savings, but points out the lack of intuitiveness and a learning curve for users accustomed to traditional IDEs.

3. Integrating Application Performance Management (APM) tools can enhance load testing by providing deeper insights into CPU usage, memory consumption, garbage collection, thread pool utilization, latency, Apdex scores, and database query performance. This integration enables a more thorough understanding of system behavior under load, facilitating the identification and resolution of performance bottlenecks.

Talking to #AI may be the most important job skill of this century (JohnGoodPasture)

Role of account management over the years. It’s a role that collaborates with multiple stakeholders and has different meanings from agency to agency, and person to person. How do you make sure this diverse role feels meaningful and empowering to those who undertake it? How do you make sure its identity crisis doesn’t disrupt the running of an account or leave fault lines in anyone’s career development? (The Drum) #Leadership

What does it take to develop the perspective and skillset needed to succeed — no matter the situation? - A playbook for agile, inclusive leadership (Ted Talks) #Leadership

Measuring software engineers and teams by meltrics is fraught with controversy, and rightly so. There are many horror stories of individual developer productivity being measured by Lines of Code, number of commits and other activity-based metrics. This is usually ill-advised, but it doesn’t mean that metrics don’t have a place in software engineering. A look at a small set of useful (may be!) metrics (Chaordic) #Quality #Governance #Metrics
