  Kualitee: For better Test Management in the year 2020

New IT trends will dominate in 2020. Big data management, customer satisfaction, security concerns, mobile apps, artificial intelligence (AI), test automation, DevOps and agile methodologies are a few of these rising technologies and trends.  With their rise, Quality assurance (QA) has to take the testing game a notch up, especially with using smart test management tools for their testing.  Test Automation Stays A report by Research and Markets estimates the global automation testing ...

  How big is sizeof structure?

First let's see the codes of a structure: struct node{ int a; int b; }; Question : What's sizeof(node)? The answer is very simple, on a 32 bit machine, an int will take 4 bytes and two ints will take 8 bytes. So sizeof(node) is 8. The answer for the above codes is 8, then how about the following structure: struct node{ char a; int b; }; Question : Then what's sizeof(node) now? int takes 4 bytes, char takes 1 bytes, is the answer 5? Now the answer may not be 5, on some mac...

  What is Hystrix and How does Hystrix work

Background In distributed systems, there is one effect where the unavailability of one service or some services will lead to the service unavailability of the whole system, this is called service avalanche effect. A common way to prevent service avalanche is do manual service fallback, in fact Hystrix also provides another option beside this. Definition of Service Avalanche Effect Service avalanche effect is a kind of effect where the service provider fails to provide service which causes t...

  Understanding Cursor and WindSurf's Code Indexing Logic

Background: The Importance of Context in AI Programming If the “intelligence” of large models, such as Claude 3.5 Sonnet, is the key factor driving a stepwise leap in AI programming capabilities, the other critical factor is the context length. Currently, Claude 3.5 Sonnet offers a maximum context length of 200k tokens. While this is more than sufficient for conversational models—capable of handling a 50,000 or even 100,000-word book with ease—it still falls far short for...

  The most stupid C bug ever

I have been programming for a number of years already. I have seen others introduce bugs, and I have also introduced (and solved!) many bugs while coding. Off-by-one, buffer-overflow, treating pointers as pointees, different behaviors or the same function (this is specially true for cross-platform applications), race conditions, deadlocks, threading issues. I think I have seen quite a few of the typical issues. Yet recently I lost a lot of time to what I would call the most stupid C bug in ...

  etcd installation and usage

etcd is an open source and highly available distributed key-value storage system and is commonly used in critical data storage and service discovery and registration use cases. It is focusing on: Simple: well-defined, user-facing API (gRPC) Secure: automatic TLS with optional client cert authentication Fast: benchmarked 10,000 writes/sec Reliable: properly distributed using Raft etcd and Redis both support key-value storage and can be set up in distributed systems. Also Redis supporst more key...

  Deploying DeepSeek-R1 Locally with a Custom RAG Knowledge Data Base

Project Design Purpose : The primary goal of this article is to explore how to deploy DeepSeek-R1 an open-source large language model (LLM), and integrate it with a customized Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) knowledge base on your local machine (PC/server). This setup enables the model to utilize domain-specific knowledge for expert-level responses while maintaining data privacy and customization flexibility. By doing so, users can enhance the model’s expertise in specific technical ...

  How Artificial Intelligence Is Helping Fight Environmental Challenges

Environmental challenges like climate change, global warming, air pollution, etc., all pose a severe threat to humans.  According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 3.6 billion people are already living in areas vulnerable to climate change. Climate change is predicted to result in an additional 250,000 deaths between 2030 and 2050. To solve environmental problems that have long presented difficulties for ecosystems and communities, artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a...

  Code coverage rate

When doing unit testing, the code coverage rate is often used as the criteria for measuring testing performance, even in some cases code coverage may be used to consider whether the testing task is completed or not. So testers need to spend much time on designing test cases which can cover as many codes as possible. There are advantages and disadvantages about using code coverage rate. First let's check what is code coverage rate: code coverage rate= the degree of code coverage in testing. There...
