Flaky Tests in Software Testing: Causes, Identification, and Best Practices

Flaky tests are one of the most common and frustrating issues in software testing. These are tests that pass or fail sporadically, even if the code being tested has not changed. This can cause confusion and wasted time for developers who are trying to fix issues that may not even exist.

10 Best Online Load Testing Tools for Websites in 2023

As website traffic increases, it is important to ensure that your website can handle the load. One way to achieve this is through load testing, a process that helps identify bottlenecks and other performance issues. In this blog post, we will explore the 10 best online load testing tools for websites in 2023, their features, and how they can help improve your website’s performance. Here is the Best Load Testing Tool List: Here is a short description for each load testing tool.

Performance Testing of OAuth 2.0 Secured Apps and Services

LoadFocus now provides easy testing for services that are using OAuth authorization (we support OAuth2.0 as OAuth1.0 was retired in 2012). We support all the OAuth 2.0 grant types: For testing a service that is behind a login (that has OAuth authorization) the only thing the user needs to do is: The call to the authorization server will be done only once before the performance testing of the API endpoints starts.

What is CPU Utilization in Performance Testing?

CPU or Central Processing Unit is the brain of any computer and its main responsibility is processing all the tasks required by the running applications. CPU Utilization is a key metric in performance testing which measures the percentage of time the CPU spends executing a task. One of the most crucial tasks to do when running a performance test is to monitor the resource utilization.

Actively measure the right key metrics during performance testing

During crucial performance testing session we need to monitor and measure various parameters/metrics to be able to analyze and understand why the application behaves in a certain way under a specific load. Below ones are the most used metrics collected during performance testing sessions.

Which are the types of performance testing?

Software developers try to implement applications that not only is responsive and fast with a very small number of users but also with multiple users using the application. To be able to measure this we need to rely on different types of performance testing. Performance testing should be an integral part of the agile release manifesto.
