What is Test Data Management? Definition, Tools, Best Practices

Test data management (TDM) is usually ignored despite its undeniable contribution to the overall success of the testing process. In complex testing projects with many test scenarios to cover, test data management is a highly critical area to optimize for. QA teams need diverse and comprehensive test data to achieve higher test coverage, and that brings up the need to have a separate place where that data is properly stored, managed, maintained, and set up for future testing.

Top 7 Puppeteer Alternatives For Your QA Team

QA Puppeteer is among the top Node.js libraries widely used for headless Chrome testing. It allows testers to do web scraping, taking screenshots, filling out forms, and many more automated testing activities. However, there comes a time when these capabilities are not enough, and testers need to find a Puppeteer alternative.

What is the Event Sourcing Pattern? | Designing Event-Driven Microservices

Event Sourcing is a pattern of storing an object's state as a series of events. Each time the object is updated a new event is written to an append-only log. When the object is loaded from the database, the events are replayed in order, reapplying the necessary changes. The benefit of this approach is that it stores a full history of the object. This can be valuable for debugging, auditing, building new models, and a variety of other situations. It is also a technique that can be used to solve the dual-write problem when working with event-driven architectures.

How To Dynamically Generate Files

Generating files for data extracts, reporting and even data migration is a crucial part of any back-end team. A typical data team will have to generate many files to be sent to various clients or consumers inside or outside of the organisation. As with all things, the question is how can the generation of those files be made simpler, and can it be automated to such a degree that files are dynamically generated? The short answer is yes, it can be done dynamically.

BPM Project Management: Get Value Delivered Faster

Project management across multiple teams, especially under the triple-constraints of time, cost, and scope, is an intensive task. Project managers have to cover tons of ground to keep things on track. For example, they might manage allocating resources based on availability, assigning tasks, controlling execution, tracking and reporting progress, and forecasting future trends.
