In this blog post, you'll see how useful open_browser/2 is when debugging LiveView tests. In addition, we'll give a brief introduction to testing LiveView. Let's get started!

The evolution of healthcare has come a long way since local physicians made house calls and homespun remedies were formulated using items from the kitchen spice rack. Today’s healthcare is driven as much by the promise of emerging technologies centered on data processing and advanced analytics as by developing new and specialized drugs.

Process automation tools automate manual and repetitive tasks inside a business process. But what distinguishes process automation tools, which may also be called business process automation (BPA) tools or hyperautomation tools, from other automation solutions is that they automate an entire business process, end to end. Some process automation examples can be found in banking customer onboarding processes and automated insurance underwriting.

Automation has been a linchpin for businesses for decades. Automation tools pave the way for greater efficiency, enhanced productivity, improved customer experience, and many other benefits. Yet, in some cases, businesses have only seen small gains from their automation efforts. When this happens, it could be because organizations were focused only on automation rather than the wider concept of hyperautomation.

Model-based test automation and record and playback — have you heard these buzz phrases before in the world of software testing? They’re two similar approaches to testing, yet they’re vastly different in their execution. But what exactly is the difference between these two techniques and why does it matter?

Visual regression testing is a type of regression testing to ensure that no changes to the program adversely affect the Graphical User Interface (GUI). It is also referred to as visual validation testing. Instead of focusing on the functionality of the software, it aims to validate the software’s aesthetic side. Visual regression testing verifies that all visual elements are displayed properly across all available browsers, devices, and platforms.

If you don't understand how an API works, you can't get the best out of it. That's one problem. The other is that they keep increasing in number, but the quality of the documentation for each of them doesn't. Lack of clear, quality documentation leads to more difficulty for developers, and with more difficulty comes less chance they integrate the API. Which could also be your API. That's where API exploration tools like SwaggerHub Explore come in handy to make this all way simpler.

Over the span of a couple of decades, product design has transformed massively. Yet, until lately, it was thought of as a physical and materialistic design, necessitating an experienced individual to work with conventional tools to make something substantial. That era, however, is light years away from how it has evolved in our present-day digital age.
