If you’re a QA, you’ve probably heard of a million different types of software testing. More than you could ever want to. There’s unit testing, integration testing, system testing, acceptance testing, performance testing, security testing… the list goes on and on (and on). It’s enough to make your head spin. And with so many different […]
Time to confess: in the world of QA, we love our metrics (perhaps a bit too much). We track everything from test pass rates to bug resolution times. But when it comes to measuring the quality of our work, two metrics stand out: test coverage and defect density. For years, we’ve been told that these […]
Chances are, Salesforce is the lifeblood of your business. It’s where you manage your customer relationships, track your sales, and run your marketing campaigns. So, when something goes wrong, it can have a major impact on your bottom line. That’s where Salesforce testing best practices come in. A solid testing strategy can help you catch […]
Let’s be honest, nobody really likes manual regression testing. It’s tedious, time-consuming, and let’s face it, a little bit boring. But it’s also a necessary evil. You have to make sure that your new features haven’t broken anything, and that means re-running a whole bunch of tests every time you release. But what if there […]
So, you need to do some performance testing. You know it’s important, you know it can save you from a world of hurt down the road. But where do you even start? There are a million and one performance testing tools out there, and they all claim to be the best. How do you cut […]
If you’ve been in the QA and web development world for a while, you’ve probably heard of Angular. But you might have also heard of its predecessor, AngularJS. And if you’re a tester, you might be wondering what the difference is and how it impacts your testing strategy. Well, you’ve come to the right place. […]
Automated regression testing is supposed to save you time, right? You invest all this effort into building a comprehensive suite of tests, and in return, you get a safety net that catches bugs before they make it to production. But what happens when you spend more time maintaining your tests than you do building new […]
With a jam-packed software development landscape, the pressure to release new features quickly is huge. However, speed without quality is a recipe for disaster. Bugs, glitches, and poor user experiences can erode customer trust and damage a brand’s reputation. This is where a strong foundation of Quality Assurance (QA) becomes critical. By implementing and adhering […]
You’ve built a great product. The code is clean, the features are solid, and you’re ready for users to start rolling in. But then you notice something alarming: users are dropping off. They’re visiting your site, maybe even adding items to their cart or starting the sign-up process, but they’re not converting. What gives? Chances […]
The DORA State of DevOps Report 2024 has some numbers that should change how you think about deployment. Elite performing teams deploy on demand, often multiple times a day, with change failure rates below 5%. Low performing teams? They deploy monthly and see failure rates above 45%. Understanding these metrics is essential for optimizing your […]
TL;DR: Visual regression testing catches layout shifts, CSS cascade errors, and cross-browser rendering divergence that functional automation cannot detect. The biggest operational challenge is false positive noise from pixel-perfect comparison. Teams that solve this with AI-assisted comparison and intelligent thresholds run visual testing as a sustainable CI practice, not a one-sprint experiment they abandon. This […]
TL;DR: Self-healing test automation tools use AI to repair broken test locators when UI changes, eliminating the maintenance overhead that consumes 30 to 40 percent of QA engineering time according to Capgemini’s World Quality Report. They work reliably for the locator fragility category. They do not fix state isolation bugs, environment failures, or broken test […]
