Привет! Это снова Михаил Федоров. В первой статье — архитектура QA Assist: 11 AI-агентов от декомпозиции требований до готовых автотестов. Во второй — как «4 часа подключения» превращаются в неделю корпоративной реальности. В третьей — почему пирамида тестирования ломается, когда тест-дизайнером работает LLM.

Большинство примеров взяты из реальности повседневного бытия, в связи с чем автор счел целесообразным отступить от традиционно-академического стиля изложения. Читать далее Read more ›

Теперь, когда в вашей клиентской библиотеке появились сообщения, можно перейти к созданию ROS2 ноды и связанных с ней элементов (издателей, сервисов и т.п.). На самом деле процесс добавления этих элементов мало отличается от создания обёртки для таймера, описанный в первой части, поскольку всё сводится к надстройке над функциями библиотеки rcl. Поэтому я не буду рассматривать их подробно, а остановлюсь только на отдельных особенностях. Читать далее Read more ›
