How to Use Your Existing Software Development Process Data to Find More Bugs in Less Time
This article presents better solutions that employ data from the system under test and the tests themselves to optimize testing efforts. This allows teams to find more bugs (by making sure that bug-dense areas are tested) in less time (by reducing the executions of tests that are very unlikely to detect bugs).

How to Measure the Energy Consumption of Bugs
Software engineers should accept their responsibility for taking energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions into account when developing software; they have a big responsibility towards nature, our environment and sustainability. This article sheds light on how software engineers can this perspective into account, zooming in on energetic shortcomings or bottlenecks of bugs.

Moldable Development: Guiding Technical Decisions without Reading Code
Developers spend most of their time reading code. Moldable Development challenges reading as a means to gather information from the system, by creating custom tools that show the problem in a way that makes it comfortable to understand. The solution typically follows quickly afterward. Glamorous Toolkit is a moldable development environment designed to decrease the cost of custom tools.

Open-Source Testing: Why Bug Bounty Programs Should Be Embraced, Not Feared
The growing importance of the Web3 ecosystem based on blockchains shows how important community test programs are. Some within the testing community see this trend as a threat. However, it is actually an opportunity. Bug bounties and open-source test contributions are a great tool for test teams, and there is every reason for testers to embrace this new trend rather than to fear it.

How to Slow Down to Go Faster Than Ever in Software Development
Going fast without control could be the biggest enemy of software development. By slowing down on people, we improve professionalism and craftsmanship. By slowing down on process, we improve adaptation and efficiency. And by slowing down on product, we improve automation and quality. When we focus on these areas, we start to cultivate a development culture enabling software development fast.

Detecting and Analyzing Redundant Code
As software development projects grow in scope, it is very easy for them to add redundant layers of code. By analyzing several large open source projects on GitHub, the author presents his findings as to the amount of redundant code each project has and shares some recommendations as to how all projects can improve their own code management.
