Ask HN: Writing automation UI tests with automation?

Hi! I'm currently writing UI test using selenium. Is there a product that can write UI test automatically just by 'recording' what I've done in manual test? Like a macro recorder in excel. I'm thinking like a browser extension then I can set a test scenario like this is for product checkout. Then I will click 'record test' then I will proceed to do a manual test in checkout page until...

Re:Why is remote work seen as a gift? on Thursday February 09, 2023 @04:54AM (#34721770)
In our case, our government forces our BPO(Business Process Outsourcing) companies to return the employees to the office because of the economy. There are small businesses and infrastructure that are invested near office hubs. So, if people stops going to the office those small businesses will shut down. If the company won't comply, the tax perks will be remove.

It will be in future that we will be dependent on AI like we are dependent on computers.
This is what we use on our manufacturing execution system (MES) to our manufacturing clients. Maintenance is what keeps us alive. Its easier to earn money thru maintenance existing clients than finding a new client.

Is it more helpful if you will create a custom exception instead? E.g. class UnsupportedStateException : Exception

Ask HN: Software Developer KPI

I have been working for 4 companies in the past 10 years but I haven't encounter a KPI that is used to increase my salary. Its all gut feeling I guess based on my contribution to the project. I think the fact that I worked on small-medium software companies. Does KPI is a relliable indicator to know someone's worth as a software developer?

Re:Ask HN: Small dev agency. How to grow our business? on Thursday April 22, 2021 @08:54PM (#26909899)
> We want to grow our team but hiring developers in the U.S is not an option, given the high wage demands

- You can hire a remote contractor. E.g. in the Philippines or India. When your company grows you can setup a satellite office there. I think the important part is the long-term commitment because it would be costly to hire new contractor every 6-12 months to train and on-boarding process. Also make sure your working time has overlap for better communication.

> What are some of the hot areas that we should build our expertise in besides mobile and web app development to expand our business?

- I suggest you find a niche business and make it your own product. You can find ideas on your clients. In the long-term it is really exhausting and costly developing green field project every year.

Re:The true villain of Disney’s Frozen (2019) on Friday March 19, 2021 @05:59AM (#26511619)
Kristoff is brainwashed. Remember when he saw the trolls and the royal family? A troll show up beside Kristoff and said "Cuties! I'm gonna keep you!" (That's the weirdest line, I've ever heard in that movie). After that, the troll do its magic brainwash to Kristoff. The trolls motive is to keep their power in secret.

And Kristoff is just a kid, it is possible that his father is one of the iceman(the opening scene cutting ice).

Re:Ask HN: Developers with kids, how do you skill up? on Wednesday March 08, 2017 @04:11AM (#13819033)
I have a 1 yr old child. I have a full-time job and managed to keep up with new things. I managed to keep up with new things while at my day job which i allocated 2hrs a day, it depends thu if i'm busy with my tasks.
You need to have a programmer that is better than you atleast 1 or 2 in your team and go with agile. Finally your mission and vision :-)
thanks for those resources
Thats a great tool in learning low level code. I really like to understand in machine level but i have no idea how machine works. Like what is a raw data memory. Character size in terms of memory availability. Can i get this with this tool or can you please recommend a resource to start learning machine level?
