The latest News and Information on Software Testing and related technologies.
Modern applications are expected to be up 24/7, and that puts certain pressure on the performance testing team. One of their goals is to continuously monitor real users’ interactions with the site and develop a performance benchmark based on that information. However, there’s a catch: sometimes real user monitoring doesn't allow you to observe the system's behavior in extreme scenarios (such as sudden spike in traffic or abnormal user behaviors).
APIs enable seamless data communication among software applications and digital services, making it one of the most essential backbone of our modern society. Carrying such importance, API testing is always highly recommended to ensure that the API is working as expected. However, APIs may not be fully available to be tested, especially during the earlier stages of development, or when the API providers impose certain access restrictions to their APIs.
