Lazy Programming for Smarties
As a programmer, I can honestly say that I am lazy. Forget the menial job of repeating tasks... if it takes me an hour to complete an iteration, I would rather spend 3 hours automating the process. You never know when you might need to do it again, and the click of a button is much more satisfying than an hour of processing data. I know I’m not the only one who feels this way either, otherwise Andy Hunt and Dave Thomas wouldn’t have codified the DRY principle in The Pragmatic Programmer…. Don’t Repeat Yourself. Visual Studio makes it easy to be... -

Avoiding Brittle Automation
This morning I gave a “Speed Geeking Breakfast Talk” at the Software Testing Professionals Conference in New Orleans. Speed Geeking talks at STPCon are eight minute lightning format talks. There’s not really any time for Q&A during the talks, but they’re great for laying out important points and starting a conversation after the talk. My talk was whimsically titled “Brittle Automation or a Sharp Stick in the Eye? Wait, Let Me Think.” My point with the title is that badly done test automation can become such a time-consuming, frustrating task that the pain of it is metaphorically worse than a ...May 27, 2021 3 min read
