Turn Real API Traffic Into Tests on Kubernetes | Keploy Demo

Test your whole backend without starting any of it. In this demo, Keploy records real API traffic from an order service running on Kubernetes and turns it into API tests and dependency mocks automatically: MySQL, HTTP and DNS calls included. Then it replays those tests against a digital twin of the backend, so nothing else needs to be running.

Cache Invalidation: Bottleneck in Testing

Neglecting cache invalidation during performance testing can lead to misleading results. Without realistic invalidation, tests may present an inaccurate sense of speed and scalability, masking bottlenecks that only emerge under real-world traffic. Systems that perform well in synthetic benchmarks may struggle when caches serve stale or inconsistent data in production.

AI-Powered Performance Testing: Why Modern Systems Need Intelligent Engineering

Digital platforms move faster than ever today. In complicated systems, engineering teams upload code modifications numerous times a day. These apps are powered by distributed microservices, third-party APIs, and cloud resources. But many teams still validate speed with legacy workflows. Traditional load tests run solely static scripts against pre-planned scenarios. After the developers complete constructing the feature, they model historical traffic.

Implementing a Digital Front Door: Checklist, KPIs, and Best Practices

‍Digital front door implementation connects patient access tools with clinical systems and administrative workflows. It includes configuring scheduling, intake, communication, and payment functions across connected healthcare applications. These connections help patients complete tasks while keeping information available to operational teams.

10 Best BDD Testing Tools In 2026 (Compared By Language)

For years, picking a BDD testing tool was a two-option decision: Cucumber if you wrote Java, JavaScript, or Ruby, and SpecFlow if you lived in.NET. That changed when SpecFlow reached end of life in December 2024, and newer stacks like Playwright and Go now have their own BDD options. This guide compares the 10 BDD testing tools worth considering in 2026. Every tool runs the same example scenario, so you can compare the code side by side, and each entry ends with who it suits and what it costs you.

Usability Testing for Better UX: Fixing Real-World Design Friction

After two decades in quality engineering, you learn that passing test runs can lie. Pipelines turn green, unit suites hit target coverage numbers, and servers return clean HTTP 200 codes. Then the build lands in front of live users, and adoption falls flat. People get stuck on form fields, miss primary actions, and abandon checkouts. The code works, but the product fails. Functional testing proves an engine runs.

Spot flaky tests and failure trends with agentic QA | SmartBear BearQ

Wondering which of your AI-driven tests need attention right now? Watch this video to learn how SmartBear BearQ spots flaky tests and failure trends the moment they happen, so you always know exactly where to focus. Each report summarizes what happened and surfaces the issues BearQ detected, whether while exploring your app or running a scheduled test. Drill into failed tests to see exactly which runs broke and why, track trending results over time, and review open issues found across both passing and failing runs.

Tricentis Data Integrity: The one question your data quality tools can't answer.

Your data quality tools check data inside their scope. But can they tell you whether data is still right after it moves across three systems and five transformations? In this video, Adnan from Tricentis explains the gap that data quality tools were never designed to fill. Data moves from your ERP to your data warehouse, to your reporting layer, and from one cloud to another, and every boundary it crosses is a chance for something to change. Learn how end-to-end testing and data reconciliation complement your existing tools by testing data from source to target.

What Is a Digital Front Door in Healthcare? Definition, Components, and Examples

‍A healthcare digital front door connects patient-facing access tools with healthcare scheduling, registration, and communication systems. It enables patients to find providers, book appointments, and complete administrative tasks through digital channels. Integrations with electronic health records (EHRs) help transfer information into existing operational workflows.
