And the Winners Are 👀

To make sure that any bugs in our algorithm don’t affect the outcome, editors voted for the top stories. Here are the winners:

The FIRST place and the Most Read Story Award goes to Web Automation with Python and Selenium by @terieyenike.

“Selenium allows us to browse or use a browser without a human involved and automate processes through code, such as typing into a user input and interacting with the website.  For example, automating form submissions with Selenium is possible. Selenium does everything all by itself without a single click from a human.”

A great story with 1,100+ reads! Congratulations @terieyenike, you have won 600 USD!!

In the SECOND place, we have The Effect of Multiple Switching to and From Compose on Application Performance by @leonidivankin.

“My research has shown that performance loss depends on different conditions. In this article I want to evaluate the impact on performance of multiple switching from xml to compose and back.”

Congratulations @leonidivankin, you have won 300 USD!

Last but not least, the THIRD place goes to Tips for Fixing Your Flaky Tests by @kevinmasur.

“When debugging any issue I generally start by trying to replicate it. And when it comes to flaky tests, the best first step to replicate it is to run it repeatedly and see if you can get it to fail. If the test failure is “random” then running it on repeat will cause whatever random event is the cause to occur.”

Great job, @kevinmasur, you have won 100 USD!!
