Build a Bridge to Connect Shift Left & Shift Right

Two paradigms dominate the modern software testing landscape, shift left and shift right. These are fueled primarily by the need to accelerate software delivery to keep pace with a more dynamic and demanding digital engagement landscape. Shift left moves testing workloads earlier in the SDLC, leveraging test automation and practices like behavior-driven development (BDD) to foster developer accountability and more comprehensive testing.

Software Test Automation Frameworks | 6 Common Types

Software testing has evolved with time to detect and lessen errors in software and applications. The key software testing trends in 2022 suggest that 63% of QA teams consider test automation over manual testing for the agility required during the software development lifecycle (SDLC) while being cost-efficient. Manual testing still holds a fair share in testing processes, but enterprises have also heavily relied on automated testing to get over tedious, repetitive, and time-consuming tasks.

6 Tips to Create the Perfect Automation Tester Resume

Impressing potential employers starts with a compelling automation tester resume. It doesn’t matter if you know white box, black box, and regressions like the back of your hand. Or you can design test cases like a machine. Not being able to list out scroll-stopping QA skillsets increases the likelihood of failing the 5-seconds scan from employers. Surprisingly, 51% of people use irrelevant buzzwords and wrong pronouns.

How to Build a Culture of Innovation in Your Organisation

Our businesses are becoming increasingly dependent on technology with each passing month and year. Particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic two years ago, digital technology in the workplace has matured at a staggering pace. Companies across all industries have been demanding more speed, agility, and flexibility since the global shift to remote work and technology has delivered across the board.

What is Web Testing? Types of Web Application Testing

Web testing, at its core, is simply checking your web application or your website for problems before you make that web application or website live. Web testing is designed to check all aspects of the web application’s functionality, including looking for bugs with usability, compatibility, security, and general performance.

OctoPerf's new UI - Design changes

This article is the second in a series of overviews of our new UI. You can find the first one here. This time we will dive into the changes we’ve made in the design phase. We’ve addressed many pain points from the old UI that we want to detail here: This will make the design in OctoPerf even faster, so that you can focus more time on your tests and analyzing them.

Performance Testing in application Design

There are many articles on the huge benefits of performance testing integrated into the development process and the concept of shift-left performance testing. We have also discussed the concepts of Load Test Driven Development which involves the creation of performance testing in parallel with the code development and sits alongside Test Driven Development. We are going to consider in this post how involving performance testing resources in the application design process can be a benefit.
