The latest News and Information on Software Testing and related technologies.
In software testing, open-source tools have existed for quite a while and they will keep existing in the future. New testing frameworks and tools appear every single day, so how do you know what works best for you? Are commercial tools better than open-source alternatives or the other way around?

Variables, may they be constant or dynamic, are an essential part of load testing. We already learned how to manipulate these values by extracting and re-injecting them inside one Virtual User. But what if we need to share these values between several Virtual Users ? In this blog post, I will show you just how to do that, using the MQ technology.
The temptation to dive into user experience design without actually testing to see if your efforts are taking you in the right direction may be weighing on you right now, especially if there are other pressures that are prompting you to push forward with a project as quickly as possible. However, good UX testing can make for a great end product that is not only more satisfying for end users, but is also easier to manage, maintain and update at the backend.
In modern development practices like Agile and DevOps, testers work in compressed test execution cycles, and automate regression tests to reduce time, efforts and costs involved in testing. But even so, testing doesn’t advance at the same speed as development. The most common form of test automation is N-1 Sprint automation in which QA teams test one sprint behind development.
