A well-built test suite runs faster, gives more reliable results, and makes long-term maintenance easier and cheaper. After thousands and thousands of end-to-end tests, we've picked up a few tricks to build fast, stable, and accurate ones. So come along and we'll teach you how to build automated tests the QA Wolf way.

One of my stock interview questions goes: "When picking between dependencies to use in production, what factors contribute to your decision?" I'm surprised by how often I receive an answer along the lines of "Github stars" and not much else. I happen to think Github stars is a terrible metric for selecting production code, so this post sets out my idea of a healthier framework to evaluate dependencies.

Congratulations to the React team for a decade of innovation.

It’s a build target. As such, it enables you to use languages other than JS on the web. You could write a web library in Rust or Go! You actually don’t use it on the web, but on the backend!

It's way too common to try to put together query strings using JavaScript's template strings. Thankfully, there's an easy and much better way.

So, imagine a scenario where you’re working on a project that has its front end (or a mobile app) ready to consume data from the backend. But, the backend is not ready yet. How would you test your front end in this case?
