Simple Way to Create Complex JMeter Scenarios

Introduction Creating complex performance testing scenarios in JMeter can be a complicated but necessary problem you will encounter as you build tests to mirror real user behaviour in your testing. There are many add-ins that can support you in the creation of these scenarios. Which is good if they do what you want them to do.

Load Testing Your API with Swagger/OpenAPI and k6

Throughout the years, there has been many attempts to devise a universal format for defining Web API specifications. The objective was (and still is) to help stakeholders of the system to work with those APIs, without having access to the source code. Each new "universal" format came with the promise of being ubiquitous and all-encompassing, but eventually faded away due to various reasons, like OData and WSDL.

Gatling: Simulation Scripts Parameterization

This blog post is a tutorial for writing Gatling scripts to load test web applications. It follows our first getting started with Gatling simulation scripts article. The application under test is a fake e-commerce. We are going to create a Virtual User that browses articles in this shop. To create a dynamic load test we will cover several topics.

Requirement Traceability Matrix & Regression Testing

Adding new functionalities into an existing application or making new code changes due to bug fixes can possibly result in new issues in a software application. QA teams need to follow different procedures to ensure no new issues have been introduced due to code changes. Regression testing is a test approach which helps testers make sure there are no new bugs due to code changes or because a new functionality was added to an existing one.

Codeless Testing Tools to Solve the Challenges of Test Automation in 2020

The world is entering a new age of technology: codeless applications, which are accessible to users at all levels. Popular codeless tools like Wix or Squarespace are making significant changes to the way non-dev users get involved in the product development cycle. By going codeless, teams can now fill in the gap between the accelerating demands of product delivery and the skill sets of the team members. Software testing is not an exception to the movement towards codeless practices.

How QA Teams Can Use Software Monitoring Tools

If you work in QA, you're probably accustomed to thinking of software monitoring as someone else's job. Traditionally, responsibility for monitoring applications fell to IT teams; QA's role ended with pre-deployment testing, and QA engineers did not usually touch monitoring tools. But the reality is that monitoring tools—meaning tools designed to help track application availability and performance, and also alert teams to problems—aren't just for IT teams.

Replacing Recompose with React Hooks

Recompose is a React utility belt for function components and higher-order components that has been very useful to our frontend engineering team. After more than three years of working with it, we’ve identified a lot of pain points. In October 2018, the React team introduced Hooks which shipped with React v16.8 and provided an alternative to HOCs.

How to remove Recompose and replace with Hooks

In our last post, we explored the pros and cons of Recompose and why we decided to remove it from our codebase. This post includes the strategy we used to approach the large task of implementing that refactor. It’s important to note that this strategy was created to fit our specific situation and is not a one size fits all approach to removing Recompose. Specifically, it was intended to work with our large codebase that is modified by our devs daily.

Difference between Priority and Severity

A bug is the most important entity in the software testing life cycle. Priority and Severity are the most important attributes assigned to a bug and yet these are the most misunderstood ones too. When properly used, these properties help in the effective execution of the bug fixing and release scheduling process. Whenever a new bug is encountered, the bug is logged by a tester or a customer.
