S1.E25: Exploratory Testing in DevOps with Szilard Szell

It's easy to overlook exploratory testing. But is that wise? Could incorporating exploratory testing slow down your processes, or will it uncover hidden issues that your automated tests miss? In this episode, we dive deep into these questions and more with a special guest, Szilard Szell, a seasoned DevOps transformation lead and test coach.

How to Conduct an HTTP/2 Test on APIs

Slowly but surely, HTTP/2 has become the preferred protocol for transferring data files between clients and servers. In contrast, HTTP/1, which once stood as the sole method for loading web applications, is now falling short, particularly in terms of user experience. Since 2015, HTTP/2 APIs have taken the lead with lightning-fast server responses.

Benchmark Testing In Software: The Key To Optimizing Performance

Every software application undergoes rigorous functional and non-functional testing to meet business requirements. When we talk about delivering top-tier software, performance is key. How fast does it run? How stable is it under pressure? Can it scale with growing demand? Does it remain reliable when pushed to its limits? These questions are at the core of performance testing, and that’s where benchmark testing steps into the spotlight.

NeoLoad 2024.3 to include extensive RTE support and more!

We’re excited to unveil a sneak peek of the upcoming NeoLoad 2024.3 release, which will be generally available this November.

Federating API Quality Across Bundling Cycles

Over the last decade, many IT leaders have felt confident they were ready for the API evolution. Afterall, they invested a lot into it. Traditional API management platforms promised to deliver on transformational challenges, and offer cornerstone capabilities – API cataloguing, specification support, authentication, authorization permissions, security, policy management, and even developer portals.

Generating Quality Data

The problem with test data is that it can become stale very quickly. This is either through its use from testing or from the fact that it is naturally aging in the test environments. This is not just an issue for performance testing, although the volumes of data sometimes required for performance testing do make it harder. This also affects functional testing as well as batch testing and business acceptance testing amongst others.

Why Slowing Down Can Lead to Better Products

Balancing speed and quality isn’t just about product development—it’s about shaping the future of your business. @Evelyn Coleman shares why the limitations on development speed are actually a blessing. Moving too fast without gathering feedback can send your product down the wrong path. It’s the balance between velocity and quality that helps teams gather the insights they need to build something truly impactful.
