The state of mobile shopping webinar presented a fascinating discussion for anyone working within this niche. And while we'd encourage you to watch back the recording, this summary blog post will give you the highlights and some of the crucial things we learned.

Flaky tests are like meme stocks — many people have them, but no one knows what to do with them. Today, we will change that by diving into some common causes and, more importantly, solutions for flickering tests in Elixir. Elixir has many great primitives that let us run tests asynchronously, including immutable data, lightweight processes, and the Ecto SQL sandbox. Running tests asynchronously can greatly speed up your test suite, but can also increase the chance of flaky tests.

This year, we hosted our inaugural Kong Summit Hackathon. This virtual competition engaged our open source community and offered recognition and prizes for hacks in various categories.

Many testers consider it a good practice to write test cases that provide maximum code coverage and verify the expected and wanted behavior of the software.
