The weekly update covering the week of September 28 to October 4 — three things worth your attention.
The topic pages went multilingual. /topics/ used to speak four languages; it now speaks fourteen. Whether you read the glossary in Korean, Japanese, Hungarian, one of the Nordic languages, or anywhere in between, the themed collections — security testing, performance testing, acceptance, mobile testing and the rest — are now available in your language, not just English. If you have colleagues who bounced off the English-only pages, this is the week to send them the link again.
The site grew a nervous system. If you have run a site of your own, you know the anxious question that lives in the back of your head: is it up? The glossary now gets watched around the clock — every page, every link, every sitemap — from infrastructure I control, not from a third-party’s dashboard. When something breaks or a page misbehaves, it gets noticed and fixed rather than waiting for someone to complain. Fewer surprises, and a better night’s sleep.
We started keeping an eye on who mentions us. Small sites live and die by reputation, so when the glossary gets mentioned somewhere new, I want to know about it — and I want those mentions preserved. A mention today can be a dead link in a year, so snapshots are taken automatically for the archive. If you write about the glossary somewhere, thank you: it is noticed and kept.
That’s the week. As always, the glossary itself keeps growing — and if you spot a term that deserves richer treatment, the door is open.
