Как ручное тестирование вскрывает дефекты в логике интерфейса: 5 кейсов Modus BI

В функциональном тестировании легко уйти в простой сценарий: открыть форму, нажать кнопку, сверить результат с требованием и закрыть задачу. Такой подход проверяет базовую работоспособность, но плохо ловит ошибки, которые появляются между компонентами, состоянием интерфейса, данными и запросами.В сложном веб-интерфейсе пользовательское действие редко заканчивается на одном контроле. Клик меняет состояние. Состояние формирует параметры. Параметры уходят в связанный компонент или в запрос. Компонент пересчиты Read more

Sharp WQ-T234: переносная магнитола из 1987 года

Магнитолы... Устройства, которые совмещают в себе радиоприёмник и кассетный магнитофон. Их расцвет, как и других аудиоустройств, остался в 1980-х, а значит они уже стали призраками былого и обречены утонуть в реке времени. Однако магнитофоны, хоть и в меньшей мере, но ещё живут. И они будут жить, пока есть люди, для которых этот кусок пластмассы с горстью железяк внутри, опутанных медными проводами являестя частичкой безвозвратной молодости, когда в любом дворе можно...

Казино там, где вы и не заметили

Здесь я хотела бы рассказать, какие визуальные приемы используют создатели игр для удерживания пользователей в своих приложениях. И речь не пойдет о таких классических явлениях, как гача, колесо фортуны и все их производные. В этой статье я буду рассматривать мало заметные глазу микро-явления, на которые мало кто обращает внимания, однако которые влияют на наш мозг также, как и классические слот- машины, то есть "мотивируют" продолжать играть.

Cardboard Drones Sound Ridiculous Until They Come In Huge Swarms

A drone made mostly from cardboard sounds almost laughable at first. It suggests shipping boxes, school projects, or something that should fall apart in bad weather, not a serious piece of military technology. But that is why Japan’s cardboard drone story is getting attention. The concern is not that cardboard suddenly became a miracle aerospace material. The concern is what happens when drones become cheap enough to build, transport, and... Read more
