For almost two decades, Selenium has been the go-to framework for automated software testing. We have successfully developed that Selenium is a collection of technologies for automating browsers on many platforms. Selenium tools are used to automate web app testing, despite the fact that they are capable of much more. The logic for Selenium's test scripts may be written in a variety of languages, including Java, Ruby, Perl, PHP, and Python.

Most people have encountered frustrating software errors. While the Windows "blue screen of death" was a necessary evil in the 1990s, customers have much more choice in today's software-as-a-service market. A single error or broken workflow is often enough for a would-be customer to switch over to a competitor. Of course, many software businesses mitigate these risks through testing and quality assurance.

Learn why most web apps and web services use REST (RESTful) APIs–and why GraphQL and gRPC APIs are emerging as alternatives to REST APIs in a growing number of organizations. Most web traffic today is actually API traffic for web applications and REST web services.

Learn the fundamentals of DataProvider and how it can be used in TestNG for automated testing. As the volume of applications increases, software testing teams find themselves overburdened with a “combinatorial explosion” of permutations for their test cases. In the early days, we hard-coded our test cases with the most important workflows, and we wrote bespoke automation scripts, each one to handle its own particular use case.

Today, API-driven microservices applications are a source of speed to innovation and competitive advantage – according to SmartBear’s most recent State of Software Quality – API report: However, this modern way of architecting software doesn’t come without challenges. Neglecting to adapt a new approach to service architecture design with a new approach to the underpinnings – API design and testing – can undermine the efforts.

Rigidity, delayed updates, or slow time-to-market - these problems can turn software testing into a bottleneck to the development pipeline and eventually a hindrance to the company’s overall growth. This is where agile methodology enters the scene, offering a flexible and responsive testing solution. Since its introduction, agile principles and practices have been popularly adopted among development teams who aim for fast, effective delivery and exceptional software experiences.

Learn the best practices and steps for creating a winning mobile testing strategy. To put any idea into a practical action plan, you need a strategy. Same goes for mobile app testing: if you don’t have a strategy, you can’t test your apps effectively or efficiently. In this blog post, we’ll explain the best practices and steps for creating a winning mobile testing strategy.
