GenAI, coding blunders to avoid, and Y2K bugs – we cover it all in this highlight video of our favorite moments from past episodes.

Hosted By: Maxwell Newsom, Solution Engineer, Sauce Labs Ashwini Sathe, Senior Group Product Marketing Manager, Sauce Labs Background: As the mobile industry experiences explosive growth, delivering quality mobile apps at speed and maintaining a seamless customer experience has never been more important. In fact, after using Sauce Labs, customers improved release speeds by up to 50% and achieved a 46% uptick in weekly code deployments.

Hosted By: Marcus Merrell, Staff Product Marketing & Testing Strategist, Sauce Labs Diego Molina, Staff Software Engineer, Sauce Labs Background: While manual testing with physical devices stymies innovation, collaboration, scale, and productivity, making the move to cloud-based device testing leads to reduced risk, improved efficiency, and faster time-to-market.

Today’s show is bittersweet as we bid farewell to our beloved co-host, Evelyn Coleman. She’s been instrumental in shaping our conversations and challenging our perspectives. We’ll reflect on Evelyn’s impact on the podcast, share lessons from her career, and discuss the ways automated testing is about so much more than just code. Press play for an episode of insights, farewells, and of course, a little humor.

Shift-left is a great solution… in an ideal world. The reality is, developers don’t have time to add testing to their plates. Rushing through both development and testing is a recipe for bugs to pop up down the road.

We don’t write tests for next week. We write tests for 6 months from now.

To shift or not to shift – that is the question. If you’ve been around the software development world lately, you’ve likely heard of shift-left – the practice of integrating testing, security, and operations early in the software development lifecycle to detect issues early. This approach is meant to be a win-win-win – saving time, money, and headaches. But is it as great in practice as it sounds in theory? In this episode, we debate the real-world benefits of shift-left and get to the heart of the issue: testing well.
