Maintaining physical devices can be costly, risky, and unsustainable in a way that negatively affects mobile app release cycles – and your bottom line. Learn why a real device testing cloud can help improve both the customer experience and the developer experience.

The future is mobile. Maybe it would be more accurate to say the present is mobile. With 7.26 billion smartphones in the world, it’s not difficult to see why there has been such rapid growth in mobile app development over the past couple of years. When there is almost one mobile device per person on Earth, it becomes clear that this is an enormous market with seemingly limitless potential. Sauce Labs recently completed our 5 billionth test, a huge milestone and a number we are proud of for sure.

Does your organization use testing as a catch-all safety net for quality? Testers can often become the gatekeepers and decision-makers regarding whether something is ready to be “signed off,” which creates silos and can slow down releases. Nowadays, there is a lot more talk and emphasis in the testing and QA industry about shifting towards a quality engineering approach to build quality-in, and for everyone to contribute to the overall quality of what is being delivered.

Welcome to The Monthly Sauce! At Sauce Labs, we believe that every experience matters. It’s what drives us to build products that equip our customers with digital confidence in the rapidly evolving world of software development. Read on to learn how our newest features and insights can help strengthen your testing.

There are many programming languages that can be used for test automation. Loadero supports 3: Java (TestUI framework), Python (Py-TestUI framework), and JavaScript (Nightwatch.js framework).

As mentioned when explaining how to write a software testing plan, every software development project is essentially restricted by its resources, its timelines, and the deliverables that it promises to provide. Because software firms interact with a wide variety of stakeholders, including investors, customers, and end users, they are required to provide software of the highest possible quality.

The Continuous Testing Framework (CTF) is designed to describe the roles, processes, skills, and tools organizations will need to establish modern testing practices. Collaboration is a key component of a high-performing development organization. It enables organizations to ensure their teams are working together effectively as they scale up their testing. Consider how this collaboration would take place at the Team, Program, and Enterprise levels of an organization.

The SAP environment and applications form the technology hub for many organizations. Out of the world’s 500 largest companies, 94 percent are SAP customers. The typical enterprise portfolio includes 2,000 to 3,000 applications in production—and an average transaction touches 83 different technologies. This complex, dynamic IT landscape presents significant challenges for QA teams.

Digital transformation initiatives such as S/4HANA transformations or DevOps can have a major impact on how we test, ensure, and manage quality. Traditional testing organizations continue to look for ways to increase speed and reduce costs. Test automation and continuous testing play an integral role in enabling these initiatives and bringing about positive changes.
