Welcome to the 46th issue!

You know what? Software Testing community is simply great.

There are many amazing people who put a huge effort into creating content that serves everyone for free, such as blog posts, podcasts, videos, presentations, newsletters, tools and so on.

Software Testing Weekly wouldn't exist without them.

So it's wonderful to see a project like Tester Of The Day by Ben Dowen which celebrates those who contribute to the community.

It's very inspiring to read all these well-deserved shout-outs and I hope it will inspire you to do something as well.

So... maybe write your first article and send me a link? 😊

Happy testing!

Creating A Test Automation Portfolio: UI Web Browser Testing Using C#, Selenium Webdriver 4

Performance testing gRPC services

REST, GraphQL, Webhooks — chances are you've heard of them. But what about gRPC? While it might not be a widely known way to interact with services yet, it's going to get more and more relevant in the era of 5G and Internet of Things.

So it's good to know that performance testing tools are already adapting to testing it, as demonstrated in this guide by Simon Aronsson.

Stop the Retries in Tests & Reruns of Failing Tests

What I liked about Anand Bagmar's article is not only that it shows why flakiness is an issue that shouldn't be solved by frequently used test retries (which are built into most test runners) but also provides some really helpful pieces of advice on how to track down the real causes.

On codeless test automation tools

There are more and more testing tools that promise codeless test automation but are they the salvation from coding that we may hope for? Before taking them for granted, it might be worth to get familiar with this concise and sobering opinion coming from Christian Baumann.
