Acceptance Testing: A Key to Confidence in Product Quality

What is Acceptance Testing? Acceptance testing, often the final phase in the software testing process, is a type of testing where a system is tested for acceptability. The purpose of this test is to evaluate the system’s compliance with the business requirements and assess whether it is acceptable for delivery. An Example: A Web Application … Read more

Benefits of Bicep, a modern ARM template generator for Azure resource management

Azure Bicep, a domain-specific language (DSL), is a game-changer in the world of Infrastructure as Code (IaC). It’s a transparent abstraction over Azure Resource Manager (ARM) and JSON templates, designed to simplify the authoring experience with a cleaner syntax and improved support for modularity and code re-use. Getting Started with Bicep CLI To kickstart your … Read more

Competitive Programming and Code Generation with an AlphaCode Machine Learning Model

Generating solutions to unanticipated problems is the second nature of human intelligence – the product of experience-fueled critical thinking. The machine learning community has made tremendous progress in generating and analyzing textual information, however, advances in problem-solving are still largely limited to relatively basic math and programming problems or retrieving and replicating already existing solutions. … Read more

Serve NLP ML Models using Accelerated Inference API

HuggingFace hosts thousands of state-of-the-art NLP models. With only a few lines of code, you can deploy your NLP model and use it by making simple API requests using Accelerated Inference API. The requests will accept specific parameters depending on the task (aka pipeline) for which the model is configured. When making requests to run … Read more

Kth Largest Element in a Stream – Python3 solution

In python, it is possible to transform a list into a priority queue where the top element is the element with the highest priority (and the highest value (in the case of a list of integers)). heapq — Heap queue algorithm in python helps transform a list into a priority queue. Example: Explanation: (k=3) Solution … Read more

Reverse Linked List with explanation (c# and Python) – iterative

Given the head of a singly linked list, reverse the list, and return the reversed list. Principle Inside an interaction conditioned by a non-null head value, we store the next node in an independent ListNode, then we cut after the head by setting head.next to newHead, update newHead to head (to be the next updated new tail) and … Read more
