Introduction Software quality assurance is extremely important in software development. The purpose of testing is to uncover serious defects before pushing products to production. Testing should be part of team culture and every member should participate.Test engineers can do black box, integration and system level testing. on the other hand, developers write unit tests. Testing
Introduction Today, we are going to talk about base64 encoding in Python. Understanding how characters are represented is very important to make sense of base64. For beginners, I highly recommend that you check the following article. It explains how Python handles Unicode and string data types. Let us get started… What is base64 encoding? Base64
Introduction Welcome to a new code snippet in Python. This post is a beginner level one in which we are going to implement a basic Python class to represent a circle and be able to compute the area using different methods. You will learn how to define a class in Python, use default parameter values
Introduction In this code snippet, we are going to demonstrate how to read JSON data from file into a Python dictionary data structure. String to JSON The function json.loads can be used to load JSON data from string to dictionary. To load the data from file, we need to convert the file to string. Let
Introduction JSON (Java Script Object Notation) is one of the most popular text formats on the web due to its simplicity, lightweight and adoption.
