Welcome to the 50th issue!

You probably noticed that nearly all Google services were down on Monday.

Apparently, the reason for that was a quota management failure in their authentication system.

So, just imagine how Google engineers must have felt when they saw a red wall of failing login tests!

But don't worry, it looks like they quickly found out how to fix it. 😂

Happy reading!

What every Test Engineer needs to know about Observability

It then dawned on me that in the era of true CI/CD (CD being continuous deployment), that the old approach of making sure there are zero bugs before release is not going to work and is in fact redundant.

I agree with Heemeng Foo on the power of Observability that can help testers and teams ship, learn and fix faster.
