API Testing Mistake #1: Focus on the Most Typical Messages - Robert Schneider

All of us want to create reliable and effective API tests. We are here to help you with this! We are starting a series of interviews to analyze the most common mistakes that occur when testing APIs. We will tell you how to avoid such mistakes and change your testing methodology. Today, we will discuss why focusing only on the most common messages when preparing tests is bad.

The way people consume data is changing

There's been a lot of discussion around the proliferation of data sources in organizations and for good reason. There are so many ways to consume data now. When I first started working we would send out paper reports. Then Excel came along and we started sending out spreadsheets. Then organizations tried to control things a bit more, so dashboards were created. While there are more new channels to receive data, none of the older ones have become obsolete.

The Hole Story and Bias in AI

AI and its enabled tools continue to enthrall business with its promise of efficiency and innovation. But, one of the things AI is also clearly enabling is the bias. We’ve all read the news and heard the scaremongering stories around potential flaws and biases in Artificial Intelligence systems. I believe for this technology to reach its full potential, addressing bias will need to be a top priority.

Test your real-time communications application with Loadero

Loadero simplifies creation, running and hosting of end-to-end tests for real-time communications applications. These tests will exercise all flows involved in the application and provides a way to do performance assertions. Loadero can be used to test webRTC applications that require webcam and microphone inputs. Once the tests have finished running, webRTC statistics like jitter, latency and bandwidth are available for analysis. If certain thresholds for statistics are known, they can be enforced with post-run assertions.
