internal newsletter items - security edition

This edition goes into some security issues and what we can do as testers about them. Plus lots of stuff about AI! Always With the Learning UX and security can go hand-in-hand, according to Josh Ben-David in this Medium article . In considering how a person authenticates, it is important to understand the tradeoffs and the ease with which it can be done. A quote attributed to Jared Spool lands hard: “if it’s not usable, it’s not secure.”

internal newsletter items - testing in production

This issue talks about testing in production, how to make staging more prod-like, has a very healthy dose of AI stuff, and more! Always With the Learning Cindy Sridharan has a great series of posts about testing in production. Worth the long read, especially for those of us with distributed systems and microservices.

internal newsletter items - accessibility edition

Initially published internally on Global Accessibility Awareness Day (May 18th). I also added a new feature specifically devoted to AI (“Model Citizen” - get it?) so that the entire newsletter wouldn’t be just AI each time. Always With the Learning Vitaly Friedman wrote about designing for neurodiversity and how that is part of accessibility. It’s chock full of further resources and great information.
