Technology — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 26 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 95% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

20 posts held, back to 12 October 2021 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 24 October 2022. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
Measured directly from 1 video with a duration reading, out of the posts we hold for this channel — not this channel’s whole posting history, only the sample this register has actually read. An exact reading to the second, taken from the post itself rather than from Telegram’s own rounded chrome, so it carries no ≈ mark.
Tom Cools (@TCoolsIT) gave a talk at jFokus this year talking about Modern Testing Patterns covering: mutation test, liquibase, wiremock, testcontainers, and consumer contracts. It worth, a lot, taking a look at it https://tomcools.be/talks/jfokus2022/ #java #testing #qualityengineering
Data is an important aspect of software development, also including the tests! When we combine the Factory and Builder Pattern + the usage of a data fake library you can easily create reliable data for your tests! #java #testing #qualityengineering http://www.eliasnogueira.com/test-data-factory-why-and-how-to-use/
This is an excellent short article that shows how Lyft is scaling the microservice testing by applying an approach to simulate as much as possible a production environment. https://www.infoq.com/news/2022/03/scaling-testing-acceptance-lyft/
Learn how to avoid a lot of code to deal with the explicitly wait when using the Page Objects + Page Factory in Selenium WebDriver using Java. This is an important approach to creating a better web test automation architecture. http://www.eliasnogueira.com/better-page-objects-strategy-using-ajaxelementlocatorfactory-with-selenium-and-java/
In this short video, also available on my @eliasnogueira_tech Instagram account, I'm explaining if we should perform a validation, after a POST request, through the database. #microservices #softwaretesting #api
I've updated the Selenium project with the latest libraries and some project adjustments. Did you know you can also use some design patterns in test projects? This project is also ready for a dynamic grid execution. Don't miss it! https://github.com/eliasnogueira/selenium-java-lean-test-architecture
Would you like to know how to implement, in your current code, an approach to run the Selenium WebDriver test, either locally or remotely, applying the Factory pattern using Java? This is an article for you! http://www.eliasnogueira.com/how-to-use-the-factory-design-pattern-to-create-browser-instances-local-and-remote-approach/ #webdriver #java #factory #test
Catch my EuroSTAR talk – now on demand! This is Europe’s largest testing conference and we had a blast. Software testers from over 50 countries learning & connecting. I was delighted to be part of it. #EuroSTARConf https://i.snoball.it/p/S9nD/t
Would you like to see some possible solutions to manage the data in your tests? This article will show you 3 possible approaches using Java! http://www.eliasnogueira.com/data-management-approaches-for-your-tests/ #testdata #java #testing #testautomation
I'm doing my end of the year review and I could only remember everything I did because of an action I take during my 1-1 sessions: I write, in advance, everything I'm working on (past and present) and the accomplishments. Tip: prepare your agenda in advance with whatever person you do 1-1 sessions. The advantage? You will have a focused session and you will be able to work better in any work in progress activities.
Would you like to increase your test automation skills, but you don't have an app for that? This article will show you 19 websites to practice automation testing (UI, API, Mobile). https://ultimateqa.com/dummy-automation-websites/
Did you know about the Advent of Code? It's an Advent calendar of small programming puzzles. But, what about testing? you could extend your skills by solving the puzzle and adding tests on top of that! What do you think? https://adventofcode.com/
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @dropsoftesting. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 11 September 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
