I've been fiddling around with棋, which seems like an incredibly useful tool. However, ironically, I seem to be dealing with a Heisenbug in one of my test methods. The results reported by CHESS when I run this test are unpredictable: Sometimes the test will pass Sometimes the test will f...

A “phase-of-the-moon bug” is a bug that is dependent on some external factor, often a factor that is actually undetermined. The phase-of-the-moon bug is also sometimes called a “Heisenbug” for Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, when the bug is inconsistent or unable to be replicated...
However, SHA1 is slightly riskier because you've probably locked yourself into using it - if collisions start to be found, it might be hard for you to change, so it might be better to invest in a SHA-2 algorithm up-front. The penalty for using SHA-256 over SHA-1 is very little, ...
Schrödinger explained that as long as the box remains closed, the cat will remain in a superposition of two states because the quantum state of the cat is entangled with the quantum state of the atom. Once someone opens the box and observes the system, however, the wave function will col...

That is a really good question! We believe there is value in understanding not only how other testers are doing their work, but also why are they doing it the way they are. When we started the State of Testing project, our goal was simpler, we wanted to capture a picture of how ...
Some problems, intermittent failures and timing-related problems and heisenbugs, only happen in production and can’t be reproduced in test – or at least not without a lot of time, expense and luck. To debug these problems a developer may need to examine the run-time stat...
First Things First: What Is the GIL? The Python GIL, or Global Interpreter Lock, is a mechanism in CPython (the most common implementation of Python) that serves to serialize operations involving the Python bytecode interpreter, and provides useful safety guarantees for internal object and interpr...
