Microservices and UI Testing

Dave shares his skepticism about Selenium's long-term viability, advocating for a more practical approach to UI testing that focuses on identifying obvious bugs during code freezes. He and Ven discuss the evolution of microservices as an improvement over Service-Oriented Architecture (SoA), emphasizing that reducing coupling enhances flexibility and refactoring capabilities in software development. Interestingly, Dave expresses a preference for working with COBOL legacy systems over Java due to the lower coupling complexities in COBOL.
