Alberto did a talk for the IFT Research call on Jan 7, 2025 about how to interrogate distributed systems.

I contributed to this talk, but also spent some time beforehand talking with Alberto about my thoughts around the topic. I did some “vibe writing” with Claude and thoughts I’d share those additional resources here:

  • testing-history.html: This is an html file that shows graphics associated with the Claude write-up.
  • mermaid diagrams: Similar diagrams but in mermaid form in a HackMD document.
  • testing-history-writeup: The Claude (Opus 4.5 w/ thinking/research) on the history of testing methodologies.
    • Claude link: same link, but on Claude so you can get references or fork it yourself.

Here is the link embedded (testing):
