The latest News and Information on Software Testing and related technologies.
What is Testing in Production?
Testing in production involves evaluating software directly in a live environment as real users. It’s becoming increasingly common.
Why Do You Need to Test Your MVP?
More often in today’s society of growing ‘entrepreneurs’, almost all are developing Minimum Viable Products MVPs that breathe life into their concepts. A shocking but true statistic reveals that 90% of startups fail. One big reason for this is the poor execution of a key tool in the startup world: the minimum viable product (MVP). One of the reasons for this failure is the lack of tests conducted appropriately.
Kubernetes Load Testing: How JMeter and Speedscale Compare
At some point, your development team may be considering implementing load testing (also known as stress testing) as part of your software testing process. Load testing validates that your web app is able to withstand a large number of simultaneous users, decreasing the chance that any traffic spikes will bring down your services once deployed. These stress tests can be highly granular, giving you the opportunity to test run virtually unlimited strategies before they are set into the wild.

Simplifying AWS Testing: A Guide to AWS SDK Mock
Testing AWS services is an essential step in creating robust cloud applications. However, directly interacting with AWS during testing can be complicated, time-consuming, and expensive. The AWS SDK Mock is a JavaScript library designed to simplify this process by allowing developers to mock AWS SDK methods, making it easier to simulate AWS service interactions in a controlled environment. Primarily used with AWS SDK v2, AWS SDK Mock integrates with Sinon.js to mock AWS services like S3, SNS, and DynamoDB.
Ways to Use Mock Services in Software Development
Mocking APIs is a popular practice in software development. An increasing number of developers are reaping the benefits and no longer using their valuable time to spin up duplicate resources. Many mock services do not require account creation, making them easy to use and privacy-friendly. In the rest of this article, we explain what mock APIs are, when you should think about using them, and what solutions are available within the open-source and proprietary markets.
Top 5 Tools For Performance Testing: Boost Your Application'S Speed
Performance testing t is a major part of software testing and involves understanding how the software handles expected errors, which is integral to quality assurance. There are multiple free and open-source tools we can discuss in the blog, but let’s start with why we even need performance testing.
Creating an automated E2E test in Rainforest QA vs. Playwright
See how long it takes for the exact same test steps — covering a login flow for Wikipedia — to be created in Rainforest vs. Playwright. Using Rainforest's no-code platform is up to 3x faster than using an open source framework like Playwright to automate end-to-end tests.
Organizations leveraging SAP Application Testing solutions by Tricentis gain an average of $5.33 million in annual benefits

However, application testing challenges have significantly hindered the pace at which software can be delivered for too long.
How to use Selenium IDE with Ghost Inspector: An Automation Testing Tutorial
Selenium IDE is a popular open-source tool for recording and running automated browser tests. You can use it to interact with a browser the way a human would, doing things like navigating to URLs, filling in forms, and clicking on links and buttons. You can also use “assertions” to verify things are working as expected, like checking that elements are present, text is present, inputs contain certain values, et cetera.
