Stubbing And Verifying: My Journey To Smarter Testing

Let’s talk about stubbing and verifying – two critical tools that transformed how I approach testing. Early in my career, testing was often frustrating, slow, and full of surprises, most of them bad. I used to think testing meant running my app against real systems and crossing my fingers that everything worked. Spoiler: it rarely did. Here’s the thing: testing doesn’t have to be painful.

What is Traffic Mirroring: A Complete Guide

Ensuring seamless data flow and robust application performance is crucial in modern networking and cloud computing. Traffic mirroring enables enhanced network observability, allows for effective troubleshooting, and facilitates the testing of new features without interrupting live traffic.

Tracing Tls Data With Ethical And Secure Practices

Network security professionals and observability applications have been trying to trace data in secure TLS connections since a very long time now. TLS( Transport Layer Security) is an encryption protocol that is used by servers are clients for encrypting the data that they share over a connection. Specifically, it uses symmetric encryption which creates a single shared key that both the server and the client use for encrypting and decrypting the data.

API First Mindset | Ajay Balamurugadas | #Testflix2024 #APITesting

In this session, Ajay Balamurgadas addresses a common challenge in test automation: the over-prioritization of UI testing at the expense of API testing. While many teams understand the importance of APIs, they often focus on UI automation, resulting in fragile, hard-to-maintain test suites. This approach leads to wasted resources and diminishing returns, as UI tests become increasingly difficult to manage as the product evolves. Ajay explains how this cycle is reinforced by ineffective metrics that measure the quantity of tests rather than their impact, keeping teams "busy being busy" without driving real value.

API Metrics You Should Add to Your CRM

Looking at the 2024 State of the API Report, it becomes clear that a strong API strategy guarantees better revenue and growth.
