Mark GagnonPublished 10 months ago in CritiqueCottage in the forest
For many days I trekked through the King's forest known as Sherwood, in Nottinghamshire, fearing I was walking in circles. I was also nervous, for the paths I trod were reputed to be patrolled by vagabonds and cut-throats, not least the notorious outlaw know locally as Robin in the Hood. I was heading for the city of Nottingham, wherein my betrothed awaited me.

If you ever need to define the word “cliffhanger” for someone, you could just say it’s a plot device featuring a character confronted with a shocking revelation to end a film.
Alexis Dean Jr.Published 10 months ago in CritiqueTest Automation and Continuous Testing Competition Week. Part 1: How?
Most software companies (or IT divisions) have no clue how to do automated functional testing or execute these tests in CI/CD. Not a believer? Check the end-to-end test reports in your CI server. Without executing automated end-to-end tests, there will be no ‘Delivery’ (of CD), right?
Zhimin ZhanPublished 10 months ago in GeeksTest Automation and Continuous Testing Competition Week. Part 2: Assessment
Continue from Part 1. 6. Judge objectively and solely based on the results. The judgment criteria: Completion of the target test suite. Correctness. Execution speed. Detection rate for the known effects Execution reliability in CI/CT server. The overall pass/fail rate is not a good criterion. A better way is to check whether a green build can be obtained (pass all tests) at the end of the day. The quality of test scripts. A simple way to judge is to check whether the business analyst or manual tester understands the test scripts. The finishing time. On the comparable results, the team that finishes the test suite earlier wins.

I was travelling South, looking out of the window at the glorious countryside. The steady beat of the train’s engine was restful. The train sped me along towards my mother’s home. I was looking forward to a peaceful week away from my responsibilities.

Oppenheimer is among the best movies of 2023. With that however comes controversy and discourse, people looking for a reason to complain or sharing a genuine critique of something that simply eluded them. For me, I have noticed many takes on the use of nudity in Oppenheimer. Many of my fellow critics have called out director Christopher Nolan for having star Florence Pugh topless in a pair of scenes. They feel that the nudity is needless or gratuitous. Some even say that Pugh is being exploited.
