Why and how to replace end-to-end tests with synthetic monitors
Posted on March 9, 2023, Level beginner Resource Length medium
An older article about potential alternative to classic end-to-end tests: synthetic monitors. A thousand tests can't prove your software works. They can only prove it doesn't. When your code reaches production, even the most thorough end-to-end tests can't prevent your users from seeing that "500 - Unexpected Server Error" screen that keeps you awake at night. By Lucas da Costa.

How to unit-test extension methods in C#
Posted on October 15, 2022, Level beginner Resource Length short
A good coding practice is to keep the view layer in an MVC structure as simple as possible and with no or minimal logic. A common practice to extract common logic that you might want to use in many places is to create an extension method that could be used across views. This moves to logic from the views into a C#-based method. By Linus Ekström.
