First look inside the Derby factory building the Elizabeth line’s new trains
“Inside the simulation room, they can test almost any situation that a train could encounter, and even use digital twins to work out why a train developed a fault on the railway. To try and keep the simulation as close to real as possible, they even include the circa five miles of cabling intact.”

Property-Based Testing in Practice
Property-based testing (PBT) is a testing methodology where users
write executable formal specifications of software components and
an automated harness checks these specifications against many
automatically generated inputs. From its roots in the QuickCheck
library in Haskell, PBT has made significant inroads in mainstream
languages and industrial practice at companies such as Amazon,
Volvo, and Stripe. As PBT extends its reach, it is important to understand
how developers are usin … ⌘ Read more

Servo GTK: a widget to embed Servo in GTK4
