This week Microsoft released Preview 6 of the .NET Aspire project. Significant changes have been implemented to enhance the security and reliability of the platform. This release, version 8.0.0-preview.6.24214.1, introduces several noteworthy additions, like changes related to templates, components, dashboard, testing and more.
One important design principle in software development is DRY – Don’t Repeat Yourself. However, when DRY is applied to test code, it can cause the test suite to become brittle — difficult to understand, maintain, and change. In this article, I will present some indications that a test suite is brittle, guidelines to follow when reducing duplication in tests, and better ways to DRY up tests.

The company used Kafka protocol sniffing, JVM profiling, and eBPF, which proved instrumental in identifying and eliminating performance bottlenecks.
