According to Stack Overflow’s recent survey, 62% of developers share a common concern – a growing and never-ending technical debt. Arpita Goala , Content Marketing Manager September 26th, 2024 Technical debt or tech debt is often an unintended and unavoidable consequence of software development. With the speed at which technologies and products evolve, technical debt is something that every quality assurance (QA) team must deal with.

In the ever-evolving digital world, the security of web applications has never been more critical. At Starwest 2024 conference, this interesting topic took center stage, highlighted by Tom Stiehm, the CTO of Coveros, during his insightful session, "Web Security Testing: The Basics and More" Stiehm highlighted reality: as businesses increasingly rely on web applications to access sensitive information, protecting these systems has become a primary aspect of software testing.

The recently published Independent Investigation of the National Health Service (NHS) in England offers valuable insights into the current challenges faced by one of the world’s largest healthcare systems. Among the many findings, the report highlights significant issues with patient access, quality of care and system performance.

“May Katalon be with you whenever you run your tests.” So you’ve heard of Katalon and decided to give it a try. We’re here to help you get the best experience possible out of it. In a way, Katalon serves as your entire software testing life cycle unified in one workspace. You get to do test planning, scripting (from no-code, low-code, to full-code mode), test management, test execution, and finally test reporting.

For years, the traditional approach to automating tests relied heavily on scripted automation frameworks like Selenium, JUnit, and TestNG. While these tools are powerful and adaptable, they require a significant level of technical expertise. Testers need to write, debug, and maintain complex scripts, often leading to bottlenecks in the development process. Relying only on coded solutions limits test automation to a small portion of the team that has deep coding skills.

Prepare for software releases ahead of Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and beyond.

As part of gaining deeper insights into the rapidly evolving landscape of microservices testing and QA, I had the privilege of attending the Starwest 2024 conference, where one of the highlights was the insightful session led by Tariq King, CEO and Head of Test IO. His session on Full-Stack Testing for Microservices Architectures highlighted the growing leverage of microservices in modern applications and their seamless alignment with Agile and DevOps practices.

Go, often referred to as Golang, is a popular programming language built by Google. Its design and structure help you write efficient, reliable, and high-performing programs. Often used for web servers and rest APIs, Go offers the same performance as other low-level languages like C++ while also making sure the language itself is easy to understand with a good development experience.

The exploratory tester's role goes beyond finding bugs. It involves understanding user behavior, improving software quality, gathering feedback, and refining testing strategies. As an exploratory testing expert, you are an investigator who understands the software, uses creativity and intuition to guide the session, and discovers new ways to uncover hidden issues.
