Well, it was Microsoft build conference recently and although there were some interesting announcements most were, of course, AI and Copilot related.

I have to say though, the new ARM based Windows “Copilot + PC’s” (my goodness, they need a better name!) do look rather interesting!

New Windows 11 File Explorer - 7-zip/TAR and built in GIT source control

Windows Copilot + PCs

Copilot runtime and library (local “SLM” small language models)

Until next time, take care!

Well, moving single pieces of data from one system to other systems isn’t too complicated. What happens when you need to move batches of data?

This is an old problem and an older scenario for sure - nothing that new here!

Perhaps, just tweaking how you might approach staging data, might help. That is what I am talking about today :)

Well, Tim Abel returns!

My good friend Tim (see the link above for more about him!) kindly joined me to discuss software testing - specifically outside in testing!

This podcast came about after I had listened to Tim’s podcast episode, and this spurred me on to ask a few questions! (well, three actually!)

Since Tim is a contract developer/team lead type of person, he has some wonderful experience working with many teams, and especially larger teams.

For someone like me, who isn’t a real developer these days, I wanted to try to understand where software testing is at these days. I remember doing some TDD (test driven development) and E2E (end to end) testing with some projects in the past, but these days I don’t get the exposure of larger scale software testing principles. It does seem things have moved on quite a bit!

Tim has a great approach about outside in testing from a user perspective. Please check out his full episode (above link) as it is well worth the listen!

Until next time, cheery bye!
