Following the update of Picasso, our in-house component library, Toptal #QA specialists employed UI testing and Cypress to run visual regression tests without resorting to specialized tools. Here is how and why they chose this approach. toptal.com/web-qa/ui-visu…

Is #Redux still the go-to solution for state management in enterprise-level #React applications? What about #MobX and Recoil? Let's compare them and see which is a better fit for enterprise users. toptal.com/react/react-st…

Visual regression testing is not a novel concept, but #QA specialists sometimes need to rely on unconventional tools and approaches to implement it. Here's how QA teams can leverage Cypress to run visual regression tests. toptal.com/web-qa/ui-visu…

State management is essential in #React development, and it is even more important when creating enterprise-grade applications. Which tools and libraries should you be using? Is #Redux still king of the hill? Let's take a closer look. toptal.com/react/react-st…

Routing code is essential to #ExpressJS apps yet it often remains subpar until the scope of the app makes it more difficult to refactor. How about a centralized approach that also enables #JS promises? @AthulExe ExpressJS Brian Terlson JavaScript Daily topt.al/JGcGbk
