Should you build an in-house QA team, or should you rely on software testing companies? The conversation around insourcing versus outsourcing looks very different for quality assurance than for other teams like engineering or product management. These teams offer very clear ROI from insourcing unless we’re talking about some side project that keeps getting deprioritized in the backlog, like a new API.
We’ve been working a lot behind the scenes for this release because we wanted to address the license sharing issue. Up until today it was only possible to ask us to share the license for you and sharing could only share every license you own. We had to completely refactor the way we handle licenses to allow you to decide on your own to share all or a fraction of your subscriptions. But that’s not all, we also worked on a VU validation with multiple iterations.
An application is focused on the perspective of the end-user. We develop, observe and re-iterate as the end-user wants because they are the ones who keep our product, the application, alive in the market. But if I think and act like an end-user, I am sure that the first thing that creates an impression of the product is how the product looks, how I accept it and how it feels to interact. This is called a user interface and arguably, is the first impression of your product.
We don’t even need a moment to gather which operating system is the most used one. Android development is a booming business because of the number of users it has. It is open source and its development can be ported across devices with relative ease. Plus, it has good backwards compatibility across versions. And, precisely due to this diversity, the need for testing on many devices is paramount.
Have you heard of the misconception that agile is about velocity: i.e. delivering more, at a faster rate? Although this statement is true, it is ultimately meaningless if you don’t deliver value and the customer is not satisfied.
Testing web applications comes with many challenges like covering the entire platform, testing with real devices, and protecting data security. B2B customers have high expectations for the web apps they use. They rely on them for their day-to-day jobs or small business functions. The failure of a consumer app can be frustrating.
Spending via smartphones is going up. According to Forbes, smartphones accounted for 46.5% of all holiday sales on Thanksgiving Day 2020, and 40% of sales on Black Friday. This means close to half of all purchases were made not only online, but on a smartphone—which makes the mobile shopping experience all the more critical. Customers expect their transactions and experiences to go off without a hitch. And if that doesn’t happen?
No user likes to spend time waiting for a web page to load. No web developer likes a website or app to fail either. It’s important to focus on creating quick loading pages with error-free code. JavaScript is used to build the majority of the dynamic, real-time applications. JavaScript’s strength is in the context of apps that update content dynamically with minimal latency. JavaScript performance testing should be a priority for ensuring a good end user experience and optimal performance.

In this article we will look into the following and as always – feel free to skip to any part you are the most interested in: Code used in this article can be found in Loadero’s public GitHub examples repository here.
As you may or may not know, Atlassian is accelerating their Journey to the Cloud. This has some important implications to anyone who uses Atlassian Server based products, including apps. Read on to learn how we support customers of Zephyr for Jira and Zephyr Scale as they transition to Cloud.
As you may or may not know, Atlassian is accelerating their journey to Cloud. This has some important implications to anyone who uses Atlassian Server based products, including apps. Read on to learn how we support customers of Zephyr for Jira and Zephyr Scale as they transition to Cloud. As of February 2, 2021, Atlassian customers can no longer purchase or request a quote for new Server licenses. Existing customers can continue purchase Server apps on Marketplace until February 2, 2023.
Needless to say, there has been significant growth in the usage of web-sites to gain information in the past few years. Consequently, there has also been an increase in the range of channels or media through which these websites are accessed. When we speak about the medium, we talk about the variety of devices (desktop and handheld), the different types of browsers that the users use to access these websites, etc.
A mobile application is more than just an application for businesses today. Some businesses, such as Uber that rely heavily on their mobile application for business, earned over 1 billion USD in the fourth quarter of 2020. On the other hand, some companies like Facebook, are seeing their mobile app usage grow as much as 67% year on year. With a widening gap between mobile browsers and mobile applications, users are spending 90% of their overall mobile internet time on mobile applications.
Robotic Process Automation and Test Automation are two confusing terms in testing processes. Similar to TDD and BDD processes, RPA and test automation seem like a single branch of the test segment which is common to be exchanged in communication during planning. The word “automation” seems to be a culprit in this case. When both the terms end with automation and someone knows any one of them, it is not hard to presume another one based on primitive knowledge.
With our newly released White Labelled Reports for performance tests, you can now print the PDF reports in multiple languages. This applies to our load testing cloud tool and also for load tests using JMeter test scripts.
Not many areas feature as much innovation as the area of app development. Recently we explored various mobile app trends from social media to virtual experiences. App development has become more innovative over time—and we have effective technologies and platforms helping us develop, test, and release successful applications. Most companies think of creating a B2B native app without considering other options available – namely, the web app.
k6 v0.31.0 is here! 🎉 It's a smaller release with some significant performance improvements, as well as some really exciting new features. For additionall details, see the full release notes on GitHub.
While the File Transfer Protocol is one of the original protocols used in the early adoption of the internet it remains a fundamental part of modern computer networks. In this post we will look at the way the JMeter can support you in performance testing FTP and SFTP.
Real device testing is a critical ongoing requirement for providing a quality experience in a mobile app. But it’s hard to do well, as there are thousands of devices your users might own. In fact, there are well over 24,000 Android devices, and while iOS devices remain popular in the US, globally Android makes up 73% of the device market share. This means that Android devices can’t be glossed over. But, testing thousands of different devices isn’t possible or even necessary.
Given I am a Business Analyst When I need to collaborate with my development team Then I should use BDD to create a shared understanding We recently ran a webinar for Business Analysts (BAs) to understand how Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) can help their team’s software development process.
