Cloud-based technologies are on a rise today. Even if I deviate a bit from core IT fundamentals, the pandemic of 2021 made cloud tech a hero. It taught us how just an easy monthly subscription can give us access to thousands of movies, games, and live events such as the Tokyo Olympics via streaming. This is just a small example that we all can relate to and understand the cloud. In IT, however, the cloud means a lot more than just streaming media on the system.

Cloud-based technologies are increasing day by day. I remember what cloud meant to the people 10 years back and what it means now. It has grown more than just being “saving your files” to “developing on the cloud”. Cloud technology is almost everywhere today. From game development to machine learning projects to neural networks to automation testing- everything is on the cloud. And honestly, why shouldn’t it be?

Automated web testing is not a new concept today. With advancements in web development technologies and how complex web codes are written today, web testing was bound to walk this way sooner or later. The problem with adopting automation is that it is not like a Netflix subscription that we can pay and enjoy cloud services. Climbing the automated web testing ladder requires planning, careful execution, and a workforce that is familiar with all the intricacies.

When implemented right, shift left testing can really help organizations achieve their quality goals faster and better. And to help that along, a valuable tool is needed too. All test automation tools are not made to shift your testing left so this is a crucial decision. In this blog, we will discuss how Testsigma supports shift-left testing. Let’s start by clarifying what is shift-left first.

Cross Browser Testing is one of the most growing needs for software development companies today. Reasons being – i. The penetration of the internet in almost every aspect of life ii. A large number of mobile devices are being manufactured and being used, all around the world. Thus, a mobile app needs to support a large number of devices. At least, the ones that their customers might be using. iii.

We all know that if we are developing something that runs on the web using browsers then cross-browser testing needs to be done. There is another variation of cross-browser testing – cross-device testing. If we have an application that is supposed to work on a device and is used by a set of people who may be using multiple devices then cross-device testing is needed.

We’re sure you’ve heard your DevOps team often talk about test orchestration. This testing approach has quickly become a crucial element of test automation because it streamlines the automation process. For agile teams, applying test orchestration to their testing strategy is quite rewarding as it accelerates testing and offers a holistic view of the testing process.

According to browser usage statistics here , there are 4.3 billion internet users today. Review42.com also says that in 2008 there were 112 different types of browsers people were using to access the internet. Thus, it’s evident that people can be accessing the same website from multiple browsers at the same time – which makes cross-browser testing very important.

Cloud testing is expected to grow to USD 11 Billion by 2023 , and we are talking about only cloud testing here, not cloud computing. Complex testing scenarios such as cross-browser testing, parallel testing, can be made more effective when done on the cloud. The reason being – the cloud provides the required testing environment effortlessly and can be scaled up or down as needed.

We now live on the internet! DataReportal states that around 4.80 billion of the global population use the internet, as of July 2021. That’s around 61% of the entire world population. From reading the news and booking tickets to buying groceries and meeting people — everything is now online. In the vast ocean of mobile apps and websites/web apps, we’re going to talk about web apps and web testing in this post.
