• How to Test Ember Components
  • comprehensive tutorial on how to test Ember Components in isolation. I’ve written a more high level tutorial on Ember testing general, talking about Application, Component, and Unit tests. Check it out here
• testRNN: Coverage-guided Testing on Recurrent Neural Networks
  • Interesting usage of mutation-based testing to verify the robustness of Recurring Neural Networks. The usage of heuristics, rather than hard oracles, can be a good path for testing AI in general.
• A LOOK AT NEW JAVA FEATURES IN TEST AUTOMATION
  • Java is slowly becoming less unberable in terms of language construct, with the addition of many features inspired by Python, Ruby, Javascript and Groovy (JVM-based). Angie Jones will show us some of them and how to apply in the context of automation (in testing).
