QA

Error guessing is a testing technique that leverages the tester’s experience, intuition, and knowledge of the system to predict where defects might occur. Here's a general methodology:

  • Leverage Experience: Testers use their past experience with similar applications or common error patterns to guess where errors might occur in the current application.

  • Understand the System: Testers need a good understanding of the system, its context, and its users. This knowledge can help them predict what might go wrong.

  • Identify Risky Areas: Certain parts of an application might be more prone to errors. These could be complex features, areas where new changes have been made, or parts of the application that have had issues in the past.

  • Design Test Cases: Based on their guesses, testers design and execute test cases specifically to expose potential errors.

  • Learn and Adapt: As testers find defects, they learn more about the system’s behavior and can refine their error guessing strategy.

Gotchas

One issue that occurs semi-regularly for LtU is that bot attacks - often just from overly aggressive crawlers - can cause the database container to run out of resources and crash. In that case, Kubernetes usually restarts the container and everything recovers automatically within a few minutes.

This process worked well for a few years, but at some point, it stopped working seamlessly. Even after manual attempts to recover, there would still be an intermittent but frequent symptom where it seemed like the app was still trying to reach the old crashed container, or something like that. I spent a bit of time looking at it, but soon decided it would be easier to switch to a new cluster than debug that years-old setup.

Git Commit in a Docker Container

# Once you're in the container, you can install git.
apt-get update
apt-get install -y git

# Configure your Git user (replace with your own name and email).
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "youremail@example.com"

# Clone your repository (replace with your repository's URL).
git clone https://github.com/username/repository.git

# Navigate into your repository.
cd repository

# Make changes to your files here.

# Stage and commit your changes.
git add .
git commit -m "Your commit message"

# Push your changes (replace 'main' with your branch name if different).
git push origin main
