This week I finally experienced what it’s like to turn testing philosophy into practice and then watch it collide with real code. After a long stretch of trial and error with the QR-scanner tests, I was able to step back and see the bigger picture. Mocking Strategy Mocking started out Read more
Last week, I learned about building the right mindset for testing, focusing less on “proving success” and more on “finding boundaries.” This week, I finally moved from that philosophy into hands-on practice. My focus was on integration testing in Flutter, especially around the QR scanner journey. Understanding the Testing Layers Read more
After weeks of wrestling with the QR scanner, I’ve managed to get it to a point where I can finally start focusing on testing, which feels like reaching a checkpoint in a marathon I didn’t know I signed up for. It wasn’t easy (many “why isn’t this working” moments), but Read more
If Week 4 was about understanding why clean code matters, Week 5 was about practicing the how. I noticed a pattern: the more I leaned on best practices, the less time I spent fighting my own code. This week wasn’t about big refactors, but about sharpening the small details that Read more
This week was less about adding shiny new features and more about writing clean, maintainable code. I realized that writing code isn’t just about making it work, it’s about making it safe, secure, and sustainable. A single misplaced file, a missing assert, or scattered logic might not break the app Read more
Week 3 was where development met real-time pressure. I dove into implementing the QR code scanning workflow, translating an abstract idea into a working feature that users could interact with. At the same time, I stayed on call for live system operations, tackling issues as they surfaced. That constant switch Read more
