Почему идея решать капчу с помощью ИИ переоценена и в чем главная проблема полностью ИИ сервисов распознавания капчи?

В последнее время все чаще звучат идеи — что капча переоценена, и что развитие ИИ технологий медленно но верно убивает индустрию сервисов распознавания капчи. «Нейросеть научилась решать капчу лучше человека», «сервисы распознавания капчи все», «ИИ решает капчу быстрее человека» и так далее в том же духе. А давайте разберемся в этом чуть глубже — есть ощущение, что не все так однозначно, как кажется на первый взгляд. Читать далее Read more

Без рук: автоматизируем нагрузочное тестирование изменений в CI

Нагрузочное тестирование — одна из самых избегаемых тем, когда речь заходит о контроле качества ПО.

А потом внезапно наступает день, когда пользователей стало больше, а система не готова.Почему команды не тащат нагрузку в релизный... Read more
