Gone are the glorious days of desktop apps. Back in the 90's, when the “web” was only in its infancy, downloading and installing applications to your local machines were the norm. However, over time, the web has matured into the giant it is today, and from it spawned the modern “web-based application” that we all know and love for the unmatched accessibility and ease of use. However, desktop applications are far from dead.

Testing is not just writing test scripts and executing them. While not usually considered as an official step in the software testing life cycle, test case management is a crucial activity whose presence can be found in almost any stage of the testing process. The simple act of choosing which test case to execute is already test case management. Done right, test case management can make a real difference.

Development and testing go hand in hand: one can not be complete without the other. Traditionally, the emphasis has always been placed on developing. Developers code first, then test, fix any bugs they find, commit code, and the cycle repeats. Test-driven development (TDD) takes a slightly contrarian approach: test first, then write code later. These test results guide development activities. Although it may sound counterintuitive, TDD is actually a better approach to development and testing.

Test data management (TDM) is usually ignored despite its undeniable contribution to the overall success of the testing process. In complex testing projects with many test scenarios to cover, test data management is a highly critical area to optimize for. QA teams need diverse and comprehensive test data to achieve higher test coverage, and that brings up the need to have a separate place where that data is properly stored, managed, maintained, and set up for future testing.

QA Puppeteer is among the top Node.js libraries widely used for headless Chrome testing. It allows testers to do web scraping, taking screenshots, filling out forms, and many more automated testing activities. However, there comes a time when these capabilities are not enough, and testers need to find a Puppeteer alternative.
