Hits per second represents the number of requests sent to the server in one second (the load which the server is being hit). Hits per second is the total load set by the concurrent virtual users on the server, no matter if they are executed successfully or not on the server side. The number of requests executed successfully by the server per unit of time is called throughput.

It’s 2021 and we now have a mobile app for everything. Whether it’s social media, shopping, productivity or fitness, there’s a visible surge in the number of mobile apps and their users. Simform (as of 2019) stated that an average user has at least 40 apps installed on their phones while millennials have around 67 apps. So, there’s a solid reason why mobile app testing is a crucial step in any app development process.

With the increased usage of smartphones in recent years, enterprises and the software industry now have to cater their applications to mobile devices for web testing in addition to desktops. Usually, there are three types of applications that are meant to be used in mobile phones. These are – i. Native Apps: Apps that are written and built using SDKs and native APIs. These can be downloaded from the official app stores. ii.

Quality assurance is a broad initiative. Ghost Inspector strives to be an all-in-one tool when it comes to browser automation. However, QA teams often use a range of products to cover all their testing needs, like API testing and load testing. This can lead to testing-related data being scattered in various places. QADeputy is a service that aims to centralize your QA operations — and it integrates nicely with Ghost Inspector.

When developing customer-facing software, the end user’s overall experience is vital to business retention and next stages of development. Just as it’s essential for software developers to deliver crisp customer experiences, the same applies to businesses responsible for assuring the quality of customer experiences.

Why does this matter? Well, first of all you want your website to appear in search engines like Google in the first results. The speed of your websites and other metrics matter a lot on how search engines position your web pages in the search results.

Sometimes using a graphical user interface isn’t enough to fulfill your daily tasks, especially when you start automating your testing routines. Imagine a scenario, when you perform a regression test on a piece of functionality every time you push a new release or merge your code to a particular branch. It would be a nightmare to manually run those tests every time, especially if your team is rather large and you’re practicing continuous delivery.

Only a good user interface is capable of delivering a good user experience. And people love user-friendly experiences — it’s a no-brainer. Android developers and testers perform mobile tests to deliver apps that drive a high user retention rate through a great user interface. For applications that have made a place in the market and have some good loyal users, it is essential that they keep their UI upbeat, always. In such scenarios, keeping a check on the UI on every build is imperative.

Performance testing is a form of software testing that focuses on how a system running the system performs under a particular load. This is not about finding software bugs or defects. Different performance testing types measures according to benchmarks and standards. Performance testing gives developers the diagnostic information they need to eliminate bottlenecks.

A quote from Tim Cook says- “When you care about people’s happiness and productivity, you give them what brings out the best in them and their creativity. And if you give them a choice, they’ll say, ‘I want an iPhone,’ or ‘I want a Mac.’ We think we can win a lot of corporate decisions at that level.” This says a lot about the love for the iPhone we all have!

There are things your in-house QA team can do extremely well. This might include collaborating with engineering leaders and product managers, strategizing test cases, and converting former test cycles into automated scripts. And then there are things that an enterprise organization’s QA team will always struggle with, regardless of how smart, organized, and empowered they are.

In the last one decade, the growth of Android was whopping which is very much evident if you look at the stats. Back in 2009, Android shared only 3.9% of the total market which has grown to over 72% in the last 10 years. Talking about the current trend, almost everyone who is planning to develop a website goes for developing an Android app.

These days, speed is everything in software development. As companies try to keep up with the rush to create new software features and test code, they rely on technology advances to meet tight release schedules (without sacrificing quality). Software testing technology in particular has solved many quality assurance challenges and allowed businesses to focus on developing applications that delight their customers.

Automated testing for web apps has been around for well over a decade. For much of that time, Selenium has reigned supreme as the go-to testing framework for virtually any type of testing need that involves a browser-based app. But as the world of test automation continues to evolve, newer tools have emerged. Chief among them is Cypress, a testing framework that is becoming an increasingly popular alternative to Selenium. Is Selenium or Cypress a better choice for your automated testing needs?
