Writing on testing, AI, Playwright, and the web.
How can we locate a link click on it in our e2e tests. In this article we will learn how to locate elements in Playwright using the test generator to generate your tets based on user actions or pick a locator by clicking on an element
My personal website was built many years ago and had collected quite a large amount of code as I used my site to play around and experiment new features of Nuxt. It took me ages to finally decide to migrate cause lets face it, we all hate migrations. But I finally did it and I'm so glad I did. I'm going to share with you the steps I took to migrate my site from Nuxt 2 to Nuxt 3.
Cycle all around the island of Mallorca for a total of 235km with an expected cycling time of 9.5 hours at a speed of 25km per hour. Just the thoughts of that is scary enough. Was I able for it? Had I trained enough for it? Probably not. But I was determined to give it a go.
My site has a color mode option to change from light theme to dark theme or sepia theme or use the system preference. So how can we write a test to make sure this all works?
When a recruiter from Meta, from America, had called me, it just opened my eyes to the possibility that maybe just maybe I was actually good enough to work for the big tech companies.
I just really liked the idea that Microsoft were willing to send people out to help others, to help them build better software with their products and I said to the two Microsoft guys, "One day I will work for Microsoft".
When you step back from the nationality, the color, the religion the sex etc you just get a bunch of people who become a great bunch of friends. This is tech. This is what tech should be like always, for everyone.
Often we want to return a single item from an array. There are a few methods of doing this including the `at(index)` method which returns the item at a given index.
The .filter() method in JavaScript creates a new array with all elements that pass the test implemented by the provided function.
To many people it might look like I have it all worked out and to be honest I do think I have a pretty good work life balance. But it wasn't always that way. I am probably older than most people who will read this and therefore I have had more time to make mistakes and learn from them.
How do we empower women in tech and equip them with the skills to help them become true leaders? One way is learning from others' successes and failures. Web GDEs—Debbie O'Brien, Julia Miocene, and Glafira Zhur—discuss the value of one to one mentoring and the impact it has made on their own professional and personal development.
When working with SVG's sometimes we just put the svg into our code and think nothing more of it. But do we always need all that code that the SVG gives us? Perhaps not. SVGO is a tool that can take an SVG and compress it down to a smaller size ensuring your site is more performant.
