How to Automate Your Test Management in Jira

With demands on software development teams to work faster than ever before, efficiency is King. Many teams are implementing test automation to boost productivity, as manual testing can be time-consuming and error prone. Test automation revolutionizes the testing process. It enables you to automatically publish test results from various automation frameworks directly into your test management environment.

Discover, Test, and Succeed: SwaggerHub Explore Meets SwaggerHub Portal

API documentation is the cornerstone of any successful API-driven project. It serves as a critical reference point for developers and consumers to understand how an API works, its endpoints, request/response formats, and more. While having comprehensive documentation is essential, what truly sets developers apart is the ability to seamlessly explore and test these APIs within the context of their documentation.

Slow App Performance? Here's How to Fix It

Excellent performance is key for any application, regardless of the framework or language. Today’s digital consumers demand speed and precision, and will quickly quit a sluggish app. That's why performance monitoring, especially Real User Monitoring (RUM), is important for every developer to implement. We recently launched RUM for BugSnag, providing developers the visibility they need to ensure great application performance.

API Exploration for Testers

As API testing continues to evolve, testers face challenges that prohibit comprehensive test coverage and hinders their ability to deliver high quality software. API exploration can kickstart a testers API journey before they embark on advanced testing tools for APIs. This video is designed to equip testers with in-depth knowledge and practical techniques for API exploration, empowering them to enhance their testing efforts and uncover the full potential of APIs.

Cloud-side vs. Client-side Testing: What's Right for Your Project?

Most developers are familiar with running Selenium or Appium tests on their local machine (or sending them to a local Appium server). While these capabilities are essential early on, many organizations need help scaling this approach. Building and maintaining internal device labs and infrastructure can quickly become a nightmare. Here, you'll learn about the differences between client-side and cloud-side tests and how to choose the right option for your project.

Balancing Your Budget with Excellence

Regardless of industry, companies have been undergoing significant financial struggles. It’s led to supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, and increased operational costs. The strain of inflationary pressures, rising interest rates, and geopolitical uncertainties haven’t helped corporate balance sheets, either. As businesses strive to adapt to rapidly evolving consumer demands and digital transformation, they also face fierce competition, which has compressed profit margins.

From Limitations to Liberation: Unveiling API Potential Through Documentation and Exploration

In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, APIs are the backbone of seamless integration and innovation across various software platforms. As businesses and developers strive to create interconnected and efficient applications, having comprehensive and value-driven API documentation and API exploration tools within the same platform is indispensable.
