AI's contribution to Shift-Left Testing: improving early-stage testing

AI is becoming a part of our everyday lives, and in the software testing industry, it is starting to show its impact as well. Traditional testing methods can often happen at a later stage of the development life cycle, which may present challenges for meeting the demands of modern software delivery. This is where shift-left testing comes to shine. This testing methodology has become one of the most used strategies for delivering high-quality software without missing bug findings along the way.

Leandro Melendez (Señor Performo) says that Exploratory Testing is not just about what you find but how you found it. Why does it matter? Knowing where you clicked and the paths you took ensures reproducibility. Observability gives you the visibility to connect actions to outcomes.

S1.E27: Combining performance testing and exploratory testing with Leandro Melendez

The team is thrilled to welcome back Leandro Melendez, aka Señor Performo, for his second appearance on the show! Last time, it was all about performance testing, but now, Leandro is here to explore the powerful combination of performance testing AND exploratory testing. With nearly 20 years of IT experience and a decade dedicated to performance testing using top-tier tools like Roller, NeoLoad, and more, Leandro shares his insights on.

A Complete Guide to Exploratory Testing

Traditional testing approaches can struggle to keep up with the dynamic nature of modern development cycles. While effective in certain contexts, these methods may miss some defects, which can lead to costly fixes, customer dissatisfaction, and damage to the product's reputation. The problem lies in the limitations of scripted testing, which might lack the flexibility required to identify novel defects.
