Quality Assurance @ itenium
As technology continues to advance at an exponential rate, the field of quality assurance (Q&A) engineering is constantly evolving. One of the current trends in Q&A engineering is the increased use of automation. As the complexity of software applications continues to grow, so does the need for efficient and reliable testing methods. Automated testing can help speed up the testing process, improve accuracy, and reduce costs. With the use of advanced tools and techniques, automated testing can also be customized to fit the specific needs of each software project.
Regular Expressions: Tutorial
The minimum Regex one should know and still be fairly productive.
What chart library to use in React?
The question “What chart library to use in React?” came about when I had to actually find one to introduce in a project. As suggested by a colleague, I created this blog post with the results of my research, maybe saving others from having to do the same.
Java @ itenium

Regular Expressions: Introduction
You already know regex is a (very) useful skill? Skip to the Tutorial. If not, allow me to convince you…
Some people, when confronted with a problem, think ‘I know, I’ll use regular expressions.’ Now they have two problems. – Jeffrey Friedl’s Blog

JavaScript Testing: Jasmine to Jest
Jasmine vs Jest
When you search “Jasmine vs Jest”, you get a lot of high level comparisons which might be helpful when you have yet to write your first test. This is no such article, this is the article that answers the question
What are the actual syntax and API differences between Jasmine and Jest?
Head to the bottom of the article for the tl;dr difference table or for the slick VSCode integration.
.NET @ itenium
As we look ahead to 2023, the world of .Net development is evolving rapidly. There are several new trends that are emerging and are set to dominate the industry in the coming years.
Autohotkey Tutorial – hotkeys
First we’ll cover the basic Autohotkey hotkey syntax. Which is arguably already pretty confusing for newcomers in and by itself.
But we don’t stop there as after adding more and more hotkeys, it will also become harder and harder to think of new key combinations that are somehow still memorable. There is only so much you can do with the # (Windows) key etc.
Time for some creative hotkey combinations! ‘Advanced Hotkeys’ covers code snippets on how to run different scripts on single, double or triple key presses as well as how to differentiate between long(ish) key presses or mouse clicks. And more…
Example
; Single line hotkey
^#D::MsgBox Pressed Control + Win + D (%A_ThisHotKey%)
; Control + Win + C: Multi line script
^#C::
Run, notepad.exe
WinWait, Untitled - Notepad, , 3
