Test data is a critical component of software testing, referring to the input values, files, or other resources used to exercise a software application or system during testing. In other words, test data is the fuel that powers software testing, enabling teams to validate the functionality, performance, and security of a software product.

Figuring out what APIs are doing in Kubernetes can be difficult. Read the pros and cons of WireShark, Kubeshark and Speedscale and when to use which.

We are thrilled to announce the arrival of Tricentis Testim Copilot, the first of many Tricentis Copilot solutions. Tricentis Copilot solutions are a collection of advanced generative AI capabilities available as add-ons across our products that help customers boost their efficiency throughout the entire testing lifecycle. With Testim Copilot, we’ve added new advanced generative AI capabilities to Testim, an already AI-driven test automation platform.

My horse recently had an injury. Initially, we suspected an issue with his hind leg due to prior swelling, but our vet suspected something else. To confirm her assumptions she also used an AI tool called Sleip.AI during the examination, and confirmed the problem in the front leg instead. This AI tool didn’t replace her expertise but accelerated her diagnostic process, showcasing how AI augments rather than replaces professional judgment.

A test suite is a collection of test cases, test scripts, and test data that are used to validate a specific aspect of a software application or system. It serves as a critical component of the software testing process, ensuring that the application meets the required quality, functionality, and performance standards. A well-structured test suite plays a vital role in identifying defects, bugs, and inconsistencies, enabling developers to make necessary improvements and enhancements.

Floods are the most common natural disaster worldwide. A flood is demarcated as an overflow of water that submerges land that is usually dry. Flash flooding befalls when heavy rainfall over a short period hits areas with inadequate drainage. Other causes of flood events comprise high tides, storm surges, river overflow, and snow melt. Each year, floods extinguish assets worth billions of dollars. In the last five years alone, monetary losses caused by floods worldwide were estimated at 299 billion U.S.

BrowserStack and Sauce Labs are industry-leading, cloud-based web and mobile testing platforms for developers. Both platforms offer quality features to streamline and simplify testing across browsers and devices. If you’re choosing between BrowserStack and Sauce Labs, looking at the basic features won’t cut it. You need to dig deeper and identify where the two vendors differ.

Effective software testing begins with a well-structured and comprehensive test plan. It serves as the roadmap guiding testing activities, ensuring thorough coverage, and delivering reliable results. In this post, we'll delve into the key points when creating a test plan that sets the stage for successful software testing endeavors.

Ever felt overwhelmed by the complexity of the system that you’re testing? Navigating intricate software systems can be daunting, leaving us feeling lost and unsure where to begin. While exploratory testing gives us some degree of freedom to test, we still need some guidance on how to approach those complex systems. This is where heuristics might help by guiding us to efficiently navigate the complexities of software systems and uncover hidden issues.
