Continuous Load Testing | A Developer's Guide

Continuous load testing is a powerful way of preparing for surges in traffic, without needing real users. Imagine you're a software engineer working on a website that's seen a recent surge in traffic. Despite initial testing indicating that the website should be capable of handling the increased load, the website crashes during peak hours. Load Testing is the process of simulating real-world usage of a website or application. The continuous version is when you integrate it into your development process as part of a CI/CD pipeline.

Understanding Behavior Driven Development: A Comprehensive Guide

As software development projects become more complex, the need for effective testing tools and methodologies becomes increasingly important. One such methodology that has gained popularity in recent years is behavior-driven development (BDD). Behaviour Driven Development, orBDD, is a software development methodology that emphasizes collaboration and communication between developers, testers, and business stakeholders.

The Importance of Visual Testing in Software Quality

Software Quality is no longer measured solely by functionality, performance, and security, but also by the overall user experience (UX). Poor user experiences are known to cause businesses to lose up to 35% of their revenue. Visual testing is a software testing technique that ensures applications or websites meet expected design and usability standards.

Katalon WireMock Integration

These virtualized services (aka service virtualization) can then be shared and used across teams without additional effort or maintenance.

Developer Visibility and the Genesis of an Immune System for Software

Two things development teams always need: software quality and testing. It improves the output teams need throughout the software development lifecycle, and what they deliver for their users. It’s why SmartBear has been synonymous with quality for over a decade. Earlier this year, SmartBear began to roll out its vision for the next stage in the evolution of its software portfolio.

What Is Automation Testing? Ultimate Guide & Best Practices

Automation testing is a software testing technique that utilizes specialized automation testing tools to automatically run a suite of test cases, delivering faster and more accurate results compared to manual testing methods. The process of running the same test suite repeatedly is time-consuming, so by leveraging a test automation tool, it is much faster to write the test suite, re-play it as required, reduce human intervention, and improve testing ROI.

How Functional & Visual Testing Ensures Customer Satisfaction

E-commerce businesses lose 35% of their revenue due to poor user experience, according to Amazon Web Services, or about $1.4 trillion annually. On the other hand, UX Planet found that every dollar spent on improving UX/UI will return $10 to $100 – especially for software-as-a-service (SaaS) businesses with sticky business models. Let's examine why customer experience matters and how you can leverage functional and visual testing to eliminate errors.
