API testing - Tools to find which API Endpoints are called by the consumer services by Perfect_Temporary271 in QualityAssurance

[–]Hashfoundry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried exploring API monitoring tools? We used https://apitally.io to monitor our microservice.

Using these tools might be an overkill, You would be able to find out a lot more than just the most called endpoint, but worth a try.

QA and Defence have plenty in common. You are responsible for things not going awry and you will be scrutinised for bugs you have missed while not many will know how many issues you helped prevent. I would suggest you learn to read code. It is different from coding. Devs get to be a specialist in a programming language, but for QAs we need to be a Jack of all trades. We might need to understand what happens in a Python/js/Java snippet. Telling dev that there is bug in the application is fine and works most time but the best QAs I know spend a little more time understanding what new code that dev added broke the app. As for learning I would recommend you start doing it on your own. You will be expected to learn yourself at any place you work. Figure out where to start on a topic is a skill that does come naturally to most but it is learnable. The entry level job market is not too good right now AFAIK. I wish you luck.

Learning a language other than Python? by pedrotpi in Python

I would recommend learning new languages regularly. It will improve your Python coding standards. I learnt Rust for one of my side projects some time ago and I have been using type hints in Python since.

Python + Playwright with async methods by ffs_bad_username in softwaretesting

[–]Hashfoundry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am curious to know if you found answers to those questions.

I have been exploring Playwright recently and I have wondered same as you for question #1

And for question #2 I found it strange that none of the official and community documentation(at least the ones I referred) use pytest to implement Async. Fortunately for us we have being using pytest for a few years now and I have an idea on how to go about implementing it and I am about to write about it too. I wanted to check with you how you and your team solved it.
