After spending hours or even days manually testing your software, you're wondering whether there's any way to optimize this process. Well, you're right to look toward implementing test automation. However, minimizing manual labor isn't the only valid reason to do so; there are many other benefits to test automation, a few being: Test automation is an entire field in itself that can help you improve accuracy and resilience, which you'll learn a lot more about throughout this post.

You've forgotten to add frontend validation to number fields, and now people are getting an error when they enter text into those fields. However, this is an issue that's easily preventable-by implementing a proper test that checks for edge cases, but how do get started with software testing? Avoiding bugs in production is just one advantage of testing, it also helps you be more confident about your applications, opens up the potential for a full CI/CD pipeline, and much more. In this post, we'll introduce you to software testing, as well as provide pointers on how to move from beginner to advanced.

Load testing is one of the most common ways to test the resiliency of your applications. In this blog we show how recording production data with Speedscale and exporting to a K6 load tests gives you the best of both worlds. Whether or not it's important for your organization, there are clear benefits to be had from implementing these types of tests. By doing so, you can: When it comes to load testing, two of the most modern tools are Speedscale and K6. While there are many reasons for choosing one over the other, there are also benefits to using them together. If you want to know what the main differences are, check out the in-depth comparison.
