Mastering NYC: Enhance JavaScript & TypeScript Test Coverage
NYC, often referred to as Istanbul’s command-line interface (CLI), is a powerful code coverage tool designed specifically for JavaScript testing. It works seamlessly with testing frameworks like Mocha, Jest, and Ava, making it an invaluable resource for developers looking to measure and improve the coverage of their tests. NYC not only tracks how much of…

Understanding Different Types of Behavioral Unit Tests
Behavioral unit tests verify what a unit of code does, its observable outcomes and interactions, rather than its internal implementation. Common types include state-based tests, which check returned values or state, and interaction-based tests, which verify calls to dependencies via mocks. They are often written in a given-when-then, behavior-driven style. Behavioral unit tests are an…

eBPF for TLS Traffic Tracing: Secure & Efficient Observability
Tracing TLS (Transport Layer Security) traffic is crucial for modern observability systems. It helps monitor encrypted communication, diagnose issues, and optimize application performance using insights from network traffic telemetry. However, traditional methods like TLS proxying and packet capturing often come with significant performance overheads and security risks. They are not always the ideal solution, particularly…

Black Box vs White Box Testing: Differences & Techniques (2026)
Black box testing evaluates software behavior from the outside – testers validate inputs and outputs without any knowledge of internal code, making it ideal for functional and acceptance testing. White box testing examines the internal code, logic, and structure directly, catching security vulnerabilities and logic errors invisible from the outside. Most mature teams use both:…

Stubbing and Verifying: My Journey to Smarter Testing 🚀
Let’s talk about stubbing and verifying – two critical tools that transformed how I approach testing. Early in my career, testing was often frustrating, slow, and full of surprises, most of them bad. I used to think testing meant running my app against real systems and crossing my fingers that everything worked. Spoiler: it rarely…
