I'm working on my monthly column for Software Test & Performance
magazine, and I'd like your input. The topic, this time around, is unit
testing (using python or anything else). Care to share some of your
hard-won knowledge with your peers?
In particular, what I'm looking for are experiences and advice about
_developing_ the unit tests. (Managing and running them is something
else again.) How big is a unit? How granular do you get? Do you have a
particular process or checklist that you follow: ensuring that your
tests look at interface, UI, etc.? Do you make a particular effort to
create unit tests for the boundary conditions?
Anecdotes are, of course, enthusiasticall y encouraged. Tell me what you
learned the hard way about unit testing. What mistakes have you seen
others make? What would you teach someone about the process that might
otherwise come only with experience?
On quoting you: My editors hate it when I quote "pookie-boy, whom I met
on some newsgroup." Please let me know -- privately if necessary -- how
I may refer to you in my article. (The usual format is "Kim Jones, a
programmer at BigCompany, Inc. in Denver, Colorado.")
I'll be working on this over the next several days, so I look forward
to hearing from you soon.

The current Python standard library provides two cryptographic
hash functions: MD5 and SHA-1 . The authors of MD5 originally
stated:
It is conjectured that it is computationally infeasible to
produce two messages having the same message digest.
That conjecture is false, as demonstrated by Wang, Feng, Lai and
Yu in 2004 . Just recently, Wang, Yu, and Lin showed a short-
cut solution for finding collisions in SHA-1 . Their result

Hey,
I was reading C99 Rationale, and it has the following two QUIET CHANGE
paragraphs:
6.5.3.4: "With the introduction of the long long and extended integer
types, the sizeof operator may yield a value that exceeds the range
of an unsigned long."

Hi All,
I need to convert 4 bytes to an unsigned long.
Suppose I have one array like unsigned char buf.I need to convert
these 4 bytes into a single
unsigned long. Is the following piece of code is right??Or is it a
right approch to do that??
unsigned long temp;
temp= (unsigned long) buff;
temp | =((unsigned long) buff) << 8;

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...

Overview:
Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own....
Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...

Hello
I'm a network technician in training and I need your help.
I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.
The last exercise I practiced was to create a LAN-to-LAN VPN between two Pfsense firewalls, by using IPSEC protocols.
I succeeded, with both firewalls in the same network. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
