From features to failure modes: Designing for what will break

Illustration showing system failures transitioning into resilient design, featuring broken infrastructure, malfunctioning technology, an FMEA analysis clipboard, and a secure, shielded system representing failure-aware engineering

From features to failure modes: Designing for what will break explains how anticipating breakdowns leads to stronger, safer, and more resilient products, systems, and designs. Introduction: Why “From features to failure modes: Designing for what will break” matters In modern design, success is often measured by how many features a product has. But real-world reliability…

Testing is a strategy problem, not a tooling problem

Illustration of a software team discussing testing strategy, showing that testing is a strategy problem rather than a tooling problem.

Testing is a strategy problem, not a tooling problem, learn why testing success depends on mindset, planning, and culture, not just tools, frameworks, or automation. Understanding the core idea behind the testing strategy The statement Testing is a strategy problem, not a tooling problem challenges one of the most common assumptions in modern software development….

Why quality breaks at scale (and what testing usually misses)

Illustration showing how software quality breaks at scale, with failing servers, error screens, broken system connections, and warning dashboards highlighting testing gaps.

Why quality breaks at scale (and what testing usually misses) explains the hidden risks of growth, overlooked testing gaps, and practical strategies to protect quality as systems, teams, and products expand. Understanding “Quality” beyond bugs When people talk about quality, they often mean “Does it work?” In small systems, that definition can be enough. But…
