Changing directories is perhaps one of the most common tasks one needs to do. If this is true, then every letter counts and it’s useful to think about ways of making it even easier. I’ll show a few cd tips and tricks I use.

I’ve written a brief article about different sources of information in testing. I’ll bit more concrete today and play around with KQL and Azure monitoring and logs.

From time to time there’s a need for simple math calculations. You can use a variety of different calculators, usually graphical ones. I’ll take a different approach and show one (out of many) way of doing math in the command line.

Windows cmd envrionment is hard to navigate. One thing that makes it inconvenient is the absence of a straightforward way of defining aliases. Let’s have a look at one solution.

I’ve recently updated my Manjaro distribution and lo and behold some of my fonts got broken. It brought me a few very unpleasant moments. In case anybody else (or myself) needs this in the future, I’m now bringing this short article.

Data-driven approach is a well-known approach in test automation that allows for running the same test case multiple times, each time with a different set of test data. It’s handy because there’s a high level of code reuse and the rest is only about some sort of parametrization (different test data). TestCafe on the other hand is a e2e test tool that uses Javascript to write test cases. Writing test cases in the data-driven approach might not be the most straighforward in JS-based tools, but let’s have a look on how to do it.

Robot Framework (RF) in its version 3.2 released in April of 2020 allows for a new syntax regarding custom test libraries. I’ve already used it once on one project, so let’s have a look.
