There’s a better way to approach test automation. Selenium is a powerful browser automation tool, but it’s not a testing framework—and that distinction matters. @Diego Molina from Sauce Labs discusses why comparing Selenium to testing framework tools like Playwright or Cypress is like comparing apples to oranges. While Selenium provides the capabilities for automation, tools like Playwright offer full-fledged testing features. By recognizing the unique strengths of each of them, you can make an educated choice on which tool would best fit your testing strategy.

Struggling to scale your tests effectively? It doesn’t have to be complicated, thanks to tools like Selenide. Parallel test executions can be as simple as: Writing your tests, setting a flag, and letting the framework handle the rest. Parallel runs allow you to finish test suites in record time. Reduced bottlenecks and being able to focus on delivering value with tools designed for growth.

Processing medical reports from various labs, clinics, and hospitals can be smooth and efficient with Astera. No matter the format or source, Astera simplifies every step of the process. Automatically ingest reports, extract key data fields like patient details, test results, and diagnoses with precision and deliver clean, ready-to-use data straight to your EMR systems, databases, or Excel. With Astera, your team can save time, reduce manual effort, and focus on delivering faster, more accurate patient care.

Are you still writing 15+ lines of code for a single Java test? Let’s change that. @Diego Molina explains how modern frameworks take that task off your plate. Frameworks handle browser setup and teardown so you can focus on what matters—writing tests. Abstraction makes your tests easier to understand, even for non-coders. With prebuilt API methods, you’re skipping the boilerplate and jumping straight to results. Saving time also saves money.

We’re wrapping up 2024 with some major updates for Helix DAM that improve the workflow for animators and enhance user controls.

Tired of running into roadblocks with Git in your game dev projects? You’re not alone. While Git is a popular version control system, it isn't built to handle the unique demands of game development—like managing massive files, game assets, and complex team workflows. The result? Slowdowns, frustrations, and missed opportunities to scale. Enter Helix Core—the world’s most scalable version control trusted by 19/20 top AAA studios. In this video, Sr.

Isolate unreliable tests, fix them, or make them disappear. Don’t let them break your pipeline for no reason.
