Performance is an essential aspect of any successful system. When it comes to terminology, it is important to make clear distinction between performance testing and load testing. Put simply, performance testing encompasses a broader scope than load testing. Performance testing checks the system performance under normal and abnormal conditions, while load testing only focuses on normal conditions. In this article, we will learn more about the differences between performance testing vs load testing.

Flutter, Google's open-source UI toolkit, has gained immense popularity for building natively compiled applications for mobile, web, desktop, and embedded devices from a single codebase. With its versatility, developers have embraced Flutter for creating dynamic and responsive user interfaces. However, when it comes to test automation, Flutter apps require a unique approach due to their underlying architecture.

Today, efficient and scalable testing solutions are crucial. As applications grow in complexity and the frequency of releases increases, the need for a more robust, automated, and integrated testing framework becomes critical. To meet these challenges, we created Katalon TestCloud, a cloud-hosted solution that delivers on-demand, flexible, and secure multi-browser/platform and mobile testing environments.

Cyberattacks are terrifying because of their potential to wreak havoc on a massive scale. The interconnectedness that the internet provides can totally be exploited. Quality assurance teams around the world have to be prepared against such disastrous scenarios, so they sometimes launch authorized cyberattacks on their own systems to check for vulnerabilities. This process is known as penetration testing, or pen testing for short.

Working as a software tester, are you sometimes tired of the repetitive and time-consuming nature of the whole process? If yes, a data-driven framework is exactly what you need. A data-driven framework in Selenium is an approach to automated testing that separates test scripts from test data, enabling testers to run the same test script with different data inputs.

Modern applications are expected to be up 24/7, and that puts certain pressure on the performance testing team. One of their goals is to continuously monitor real users’ interactions with the site and develop a performance benchmark based on that information. However, there’s a catch: sometimes real user monitoring doesn't allow you to observe the system's behavior in extreme scenarios (such as sudden spike in traffic or abnormal user behaviors).

APIs enable seamless data communication among software applications and digital services, making it one of the most essential backbone of our modern society. Carrying such importance, API testing is always highly recommended to ensure that the API is working as expected. However, APIs may not be fully available to be tested, especially during the earlier stages of development, or when the API providers impose certain access restrictions to their APIs.
