A slow website is a major turn-off for potential customers. To address this, one technique is to load resources only once they are needed on a website, hence the term "lazy loading". Asynchronous, or lazy loading, is a technique where content below the viewport (like images, videos, text, and other objects) is either: This makes your website more efficient and increases your bandwidth, allowing you to deliver a faster and better user experience.

Software testers, or SDETs, have several responsibilities in today's QA-driven software industry. In addition to collaborating with developers to plan and execute tests, they are often responsible for setting up and maintaining continuous integration (CI) processes, analyzing test results, and generating reports for stakeholders. In this article, you'll learn about the evolution of the SDET role and how automation and artificial intelligence (AI) can help improve efficiency.
As an application development leader, you’ll want to continuously improve your team's processes and outcomes. The cloud marketplace has become a popular way for enterprises to buy software, but with the increasing amount of sensitive data being processed, stored, and transmitted in the cloud, security has become a critical concern for both cloud service providers and their customers.
When writing your test automation scripts, it can be especially difficult to write code that adequately identifies visual defects. Typical functional tests do a poor job capturing all visual changes and they also leave you with lengthy and flaky code. And when your code becomes flaky, it becomes unreliable.
More than 90% of developers use APIs regularly, according to Slashdata, with most (69%) using third-party APIs. At the same time, many businesses are recognizing the value of building API ecosystems. For instance, Expedia generates over 90% of its revenue from APIs, enabling third-party websites to book flights, cars, and hotels through its platform. With a growing number of APIs to choose from, discoverability is critical for the success of data-driven businesses.
Testing asynchronous APIs (AsyncAPIs) is becoming increasingly important as more and more APIs adopt asynchronous communication patterns. ReadyAPI now supports testing of AsyncAPIs, making it an even better tool for API testing. In this blog post, we’ll provide step by step guidelines on how to import your AsyncAPIs from SwaggerHub into ReadyAPI and how to test them. Hopefully, this will help you get started with testing your own asynchronous APIs.
