DevToolsDigest: Issue #19

Rainforest has a guide for building test cases plus the latest from Takipi, PagerDuty and CircleCI.

Hi Alert

There’s no time like the present. Takipi recently introduced a new critical error alerts feature with real-time notifications. According to the post, the update sends custom alerts using messaging tools including Slack to deliver custom alerts for faster fixes.

Stay Tuned

PagerDuty introduces its Partner Spotlight, a new monthly blog installment. June’s spotlight shines a light on monitoring and diagnostics with Red Canary, Opsee and RayGun.

You can also check out “A few quick links” from CircleCI as part of a new weekly segment of hand-picked content for developers.

Ready, Set, Test

Checklists are great if you’re a QA engineer. But you’ll need to start somewhere. Rainforest lays out the early steps in creating a functional test checklist, from recognizing user stories and behaviors to putting the more common actions first and in smaller doses.
