A new Admin Update landed in my inbox. It included the interestingly-titled article "Fishing with Remora" - https://www.admin-magazine.com/Articles/Fishing-with-Remora?utm_source=Mastodon

This immediately brought a Gary Larson cartoon… and, in a way, it is totally appropriate. Image source in alt text.

🚀 Thanks to everyone who checked out DNS Benchmark Tool here on Mastodon!
I shared the release across networks, but it was the Hacker News community that really pushed adoption forward — stars jumped from 7 → 110+ and downloads rebounded to 200+/day. Still, every bit of feedback helps shape the patches (v0.3.0 → v0.3.1), so I’m grateful for the support here too.

Ever wondered what separates a baseline from a benchmark in software testing?
Baselines track your internal progress, while benchmarks push you toward external excellence.

Learn how both shape smarter testing strategies 👇

#PostgreSQL 18 just landed—and I built a benchmark dashboard comparing PG versions 12–18 using pgbench mix tests:

https://pgbench.github.io/mix/

PG18 leads in every metric:
- 3,057 TPS
- 5.232 ms latency
- 183,431 transactions
Have you tested version 18 in production yet? Any tuning tips or surprises?

The Only Two Tests That Matter

Most tests are meaningless noise. If you want to do it right, only two types matter:

1️⃣ Component Tests – Test behavior, not mocks. Fake external services, ensure input/output works, and confidently. With that it’s easy to generate API docs & client libs without experience pact tests.

2️⃣ E2E Tests – Run 24/7, track real user behavior, log metrics, measure uptime, bugs, performance, and resilience. No need for e2e tests in CI pipelines if testing every environment.

Both test behavior, not code. You can refactor without touching tests as they only break when behavior breaks. If tests are slow, your implementation is the problem. Even a Raspberry Pi can handle it.

And above all: Tests must run locally. No excuses. It’s important for debugging and reproduction of user behaviors.

Performance testing in SAP is important for ensuring system efficiency and reliability. It identifies bottlenecks and optimizes processes, enhancing user experience. Key approaches include load testing to simulate real-world usage, stress testing to determine system limits, and volume testing to handle large data sets. Regular testing ensures robust, high-performing SAP environments.
