Mobile apps are essential for many businesses to reach their target customer. As a result, flawless performance has become a top priority. Mobile testing plays a crucial role in this context by validating an app’s functionality, usability, and security across different devices, operating systems, and network environments. However, choosing the proper testing framework can be daunting due to the sheer number of options available and the unique considerations of each one.
The concept of Event-driven Architecture (EDA) has gained increasing attention in recent years. EDA is a style of software architecture that emphasizes the communication between software components via events, rather than direct invocation or method calls. In this blog post, we will delve into the concept of EDA and explore its significance in modern software development.
There are many components to a successful web testing strategy, but one of the most often overlooked is the importance of visual UI testing in addition to functional testing. Most teams will focus on one over the other, but to truly catch as many bugs as possible, you’ll need to incorporate both. First, you need to understand what the difference is and why they’re both needed.
Comprehensive test suites are hard to build out, especially when it comes to UI testing. QA teams have to strike a balance between running enough tests to cover essential cases, and giving each test the attention necessary to ensure quality results. With increasing demand for more releases, testers have a lot on their plate, and so automation becomes essential for keeping up. The challenge? End-to-end tests are notoriously difficult to automate without the right tools. The solution?
Visual tests are essential for making sure your website looks good, but they also can be challenging to run if your website has a lot of dynamic elements. In a typical visual regression test, your goal is to compare new website versions against previously set baselines to check that unnecessary changes don’t accidentally get loaded to production.
In the dynamic realm of synthetic monitoring, where ensuring the performance and availability of critical aspects of web applications is a must, an important aspect has been missing – support for monitoring sign-in processes that use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). Until now, no synthetic monitoring product on the market has adequately addressed the challenge of monitoring transactions that require the input of MFA code.
Test engineers may recall the fateful day when they confidently deployed the latest version of their application after their functional UI test suite gave the green light. But within hours, bug reports began detailing a mysterious UI element missing for some users but appearing for others. The culprit: a poorly written CSS media query invisible to your test suite.
