Unit Testing in NestJS for Node Using Suites (Formerly Automock)

For years, Automock was a popular framework for defining mocks and stubs in backend test environments. As technology has evolved, new methods and techniques for streamlining the simulation of dependencies in testing have emerged. That's why Automock has been succeeded by Suites, a more modern and robust library. In this article, we'll explore the transition from Automock to Suites, understand what Suites offers, and see it in action in NestJS through a complete example.

10 Best Practices for Automated Web Testing

Automated web testing is a core part of every modern QA strategy. But not every team gets it right. Some teams rush through setup. Others write brittle tests that break too often. Many forget that good test automation is all about stability, scalability, and relevance. That’s why following proven automated web testing best practices matters.

What is E2E? An End-to-End Testing Breakdown

What is E2E? E2E is the shorthand term for end-to-end testing. An essential part of the software development process, E2E testing verifies that applications and systems work properly, not only within the test environment, but also in real-life scenarios. It provides a level of assurance that your application will exhibit the correct behavior from start to finish.

Traffic Replay: Production Without Production Risk

The software and product life cycle is fraught with pitfalls and tradeoffs. While testing applications under production-like load is critical to ensuring the reliability, performance, and security of your data storage and software services, you need to do this testing without actually affecting the production data and systems. In essence, you have to pull off the impossible – be as close to production as you can without actually being production.

How To Select Regression Test Cases To Automate?

Regression test cases are a core part of any stable release cycle. They help you confirm that what used to work still works, even after new features are added or bug fixes are applied. But not every regression test case should be automated. Some are too brittle. Some don’t run often enough. Others are simply not worth the maintenance effort. So how do you decide which ones are worth automating? This article will guide you through exactly that.

Oracle transformation starts with smarter testing. And the ROI proves it

If your organization has a complex Oracle deployment, or you are on a modernization journey — migrating to the cloud, preparing quarterly updates, or consolidating systems, you already know the stakes are high. Oracle systems and transformations are strategic, complex, and costly. But too often, they’re derailed by one silent saboteur: outdated, manual testing.

Best Test Reporting Software

It’s 2 AM. Your release just broke again. CI pipelines were green, tests appeared clean, and the dashboard looked harmless. Yet, staging is down, and no one knows why. You're staring at static HTML reports and generic error logs. They show what failed, but give no clue why, no context, no trace, no help. It's like debugging in the dark. This is what outdated test reporting costs: lost hours, broken releases, and reactive firefighting when you should be sleeping or shipping.

What is SOC 2 Compliance: Why You Need It in 2025
