• Encrypting PostgreSQL Columns in Scala with skunk-crypt

  Codec round-trips are pure, so you can unit-test encrypt-then-decrypt without a database at all. For the real thing — values actually flowing through Postgres — skunk-crypt's own suite uses Testcontainers to spin up a throwaway postgres:16, which is a good pattern to copy:. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• How to be Test Driven with Spark: Chapter 6: Improve the setup using devcontainer

  The test job also mounts the host Docker socket so Testcontainers can start sibling containers (for example Spark) from within the job container. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• A Test Automation Strategy That Actually Works

  Spins up the actual database (use Testcontainers — it runs in CI just fine). - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Show HN: Superset – Terminal to run 10 parallel coding agents

  Stacks? Should not be much for modern laptop. But it would be great if tool like this could manage the ports (allocate unique set for each worktree, add those to .env) For some cases test-containers [1] is an option as well. I’m using them to integration tests that need Postgres. [1] https://testcontainers.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Azure Cosmos DB vNext Emulator: Query and Observability Enhancements

  This is particularly valuable for integration testing frameworks like Testcontainers, which provide waiting strategies to ensure containers are ready before tests run. Instead of using arbitrary sleep delays or log messages (which are unreliable since they may change), you can configure a waiting strategy that will check if the emulator Docker container is listening to the "8080" health check port. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

• Show HN: Quell – AI QA Agent Working Across Linear, Vercel, Jira, Netlify, Figma

  This is pretty cool - the Jira/Linear integration could save a ton of manual work. How do you handle test data setup and teardown? That's usually where these workflows get messy. For alternatives in this space, there's qawolf (https://qawolf.com) for similar automated testing workflows, or I'm actually building bug0 (https://bug0.com) which also does AI-powered test automation, still in beta.

• 🛑 Stop resizing your browser: improve testing for responsiveness

  Platforms like Browserstack or SauceLabs offer virtual instances of real devices and browsers for manual and end-to-end testing. Caveat: subscriptions cost money and are on a per-seat basis. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

• Unsupported country

  If you go to browserstack.com (a website to test other websites) you can probably to the chatgpt url and sign up there. Source: over 3 years ago

• Windows vs Mac?

  For testing on Mac or iOS, use browserstack.com, you'll spend considerably less using that than you would buying the actual hardware. Source: over 3 years ago

• Free methods for testing websites/apps across devices?

  I've seen subscription services such as browserstack.com and lambdatest.com but I believe they cost to get the full range of mac browsers and devices. Source: over 3 years ago
