The functions in the {withr} package allow to change your environment temporarily. E.g. create a temp file for a {testthat} test and clean it up afterwards. https://withr.r-lib.org/index.html #rstats #testing

Discover the power of property-based testing in R with the #quickcheck package! Seamlessly integrates with #testthat and offers a variety of generators for atomic vectors, lists, and tibbles. Perfect for ensuring your code's reliability. Check it out: https://github.com/armcn/quickcheck #rstats #rprogramming #testing

The new test build for my game is out!

It includes the new start. The start is a lot less stressful and deadly The game now starts you in the mausoleum

The cutscenes and menus have SDL support now. It still need to be enabled in the settings, though

There is also a whole bunch of bugfixes and tweaks in there.

There are still open TODOs, but i'd love to get some feedback to see, if it goes into the right direction.

I have a question about Python libraries and testing scope.

If I'm importing 'serial' in my library, and use it like the following to create a connection to a sensor:

--- start code ---

import serial

class Sensor:
def __init__(self, serial_device):

self.__serial_device = serial_device

try:
self.__connection = serial.Serial(
port=serial_device,
baudrate=9600,
bytesize=serial.EIGHTBITS,
parity=serial.PARITY_NONE,
stopbits=serial.STOPBITS_ONE,
)

except serial.SerialException:
print("Could not establish serial connection to sensor")

--- end code ---

how much testing should I do around the serial connection? Just mock up a few buffers (byte streams), and see how my class handles unexpected input?

One the one hand, I want to make the library as solid as possible. On the other hand, I don't want to run tests on code I don't control (the serial library). I know of the 'mock-serial' utility, but haven't used it.

The aim is to make a Python version of my Arduino library for the CozIR Ambient CO2 sensor:

NVDA 2026.1 Beta 3 is now available! This includes:

- Fixed an occasional freeze with SAPI 4 and 32-bit SAPI 5 synths.
- Fixed an issue which would cause NVDA to remain silent if eSpeak NG was set as the default synthesizer and failed to load when NVDA started.
- Updates to translations.

The fix from 2025.3.3 is also in here (actually was in Beta 2)

Working on a test framework project for #Hamlib amateur radio device control library, funded by @ARDC. Our goal is to have all supported CAT control commands tested in an automated way to improve the quality and reliability of Hamlib!

Hope to share the initial release of the test framework codebase soon.

Oh, and the relays in this transceiver still seem happy 😅🤞

Incredibly proud to finally make this project public. I've been working on this together with @marcphilipp and @jendrik and today we're launching the private beta program. Head to our website to reserve your seat!

#Java #Kotlin #Testing #DeveloperProductivity

We're back at #FOSDEM!

Proud to sponsor again this year, and even prouder that our engineers are delivering 7 talks on a variety of topics: #LinuxMobile #MobileLinux #KDE #GNOME #Testing #RISC-V #Buildstream and more!

Catch talks from Codethink speakers: Aleix Pol, Abderrahim, Theodore, and Marcel.

Rooms will be live-streamed, and remote participation is available via Matrix.
Full schedule, links, and more info at: https://fosdem.org/2026/

Today (actually, yesterday) I release Guile Probá 0.2.0, a set of testing tools for GNU Guile projects with SRFI 64-based test suites.

https://luis-felipe.gitlab.io/guile-proba/

It comes with a command-line interface that allows you to run test suites with test discovery:

$ proba run TESTS_DIR

It is also a library with helpers for testing.

You can install it on any GNU/Linux device using GNU Guix.

I hope you find it useful.

JSON is probably the most used standard file format for storing and transmitting data on the Internet in recent times. It has a simple syntax with only four scalar data types and two composite data types. So, writing a parser for #JSON is a great exercise for learning the basics of parsing.

That's exactly what I did: I wrote a JSON #parser from scratch in #Haskell. Read my #blog post to learn about basics of parsing, nuances of the JSON syntax, and parser combinators and property-based #testing in Haskell: https://abhinavsarkar.net/posts/json-parsing-from-scratch-in-haskell/
