In Part 1 of this series about Test Case Design, you learned that by using the Test Case Designer tool in Xray Enterprise, you take a model-first approach to designing more thorough and efficient tests. But how does the tool generate optimized scenarios once we define those models? And what do we mean by “optimized”?

In today’s digital age, security has become a top priority for businesses of all sizes. With the increasing number of cyber-attacks and data breaches, ensuring that your website and applications are secure is essential. Usually, access to websites that are actively being developed or are intended for private/internal usage within an organization is restricted. A common way to do this is with custom SSL certificates. This ensures that the website won’t be publicly available.

A crucial part of Kubernetes monitoring is about choosing the right tool and methodology. This post introduces 5 popular options.

Performance testing uses workflows in parallel to test a system’s infrastructure to ensure a product works successfully for many users at the same time.

End to end testing (E2E testing) is a software testing technique that evaluates the functionality and performance of an application by testing it from start to finish, under real-world conditions. By simulating the live settings, E2E testing validates the behavior of not only the overall application but also its sub-systems from the end user's perspective.

Test orchestration is the arrangement of automated tests into a consecutive sequence for execution. It’s a method that focuses on strategically choosing specific tests (performance, functional, unit, etc.) and deciding on the order of executing tests. Software development teams that adopt test orchestration can streamline the testing process, improve transparency at each testing stage, release faster, and ultimately create a higher quality product.

With the rise of fintech companies, SaaS, and new digital channels to sell goods and services, creating superb payment experiences has quickly become critical to any business that collects payments and pays out funds. Whether you offer a B2C or B2B product or service, ensuring seamless payments has never been more crucial. Ensuring these great payment experiences can only come through extensive payment testing strategies covering many device, user, and O/S combinations.

Normally, testers write scripts on their own, which can be time-consuming, difficult to ensure 100% coverage, and hard to communicate precise requirements coverage achieved to critical stakeholders and clients. Inside Xray Enterprise, the new test case design tool, Test Case Designer (TCD), takes a model-based approach to designing more powerful tests. The tool’s algorithm uses pairwise/combinatorial methods to generate optimized tests based on the parameter models.

To effectively run tests of all the important test-cases and guarantee that all the criteria are being met to the fullest extent feasible, testers must do more than just run the software through its paces; they must also manage, gather, and retain massive volumes of data. These testing datasets are used as input by test cases, from which anticipated and unexpected system behavior may be determined.
