Does automation reduce the need for skilled manual testers, or are they still essential?

Automation does not replace skilled manual testers. You start by exploring the app as a human to understand how it behaves, then automate those steps with low code, record and playback, code, or a mix. Automation brings speed while manual skill brings insight. Use both to form a complete testing strategy. — Alex Martins, VP of Strategy at Katalon Learn more Follow Katalon for more insights in our series!

Sauce Labs Compliance, Performance, and User Experience

In regulated industries like finance, insurance and healthcare a mobile app’s success hinges on more than just its features; it depends on a seamless integration of compliance, performance, and user experience. While compliance is paramount for protecting sensitive data, a slow, buggy, or frustrating app can be equally damaging, leading to low adoption, user dissatisfaction, and even vulnerabilities.

Advanced Debugging in Elixir with IO.inspect

When writing Elixir, most developers quickly get familiar with IO.inspect as a quick way to see what's happening inside their code. But what many overlook is that IO.inspect is far more powerful than just a method that prints a variable to the console. In fact, with the right options and placement, IO.inspect can become a precise, highly targeted debugging tool, one that doesn't interrupt your program flow and works seamlessly with Elixir's functional pipelines.

Highlighting Elements in Selenium for Better Testing

When running UI tests with Selenium, you don’t always know what’s happening behind the scenes. Is your script clicking the right button? Is it filling the correct field? That’s where highlighting an element in Selenium makes a difference. Highlighting is a simple trick that gives you visual confirmation during test execution. It changes the appearance of the element temporarily (usually by adding a border or background color) so you can instantly see where the action is taking place.
